I am not Filip, but in my case most "hangings" were caused by too low settings of Tomcat's maxThreads / maxProcessors or too low setting for the database connections accepted.
And as Deepak says he is using Apache in front, I'd also check the Apache, just in case.
To check, wait for it to hang, and before stopping tomcat, execute on every machine involved:
netstat -n | grep SYN_RECV
If you see a large (more than 2-3) quantity of lines there, the involved service (local IP:port) is the blocking one.
SYN_SENT would be the counterpart of this. However, as you will not notice the hang immediately, it is unlikely that you see the SYN_SENT. If you do, blocking service is (remote IP:port).
Hope that helps.

Filip,
Does this symptom sound similar to problems with memory leaks?

first go over your configurations, make sure you have enabled enoughthreads
for the connectors (read docs)the
then get a performance profiler and go to work :)
tomcat is pretty optimized, so it could be something in your code

Hi All,
I am running Tomcat 4 and Apache 1.3 and Struts Framework on Sun Sparc machine having O.S 5.8 version.
Web application is developed to use Postgres Database also.
I am facing lots of performance issues with Tomcat i.e sometimes when user connection increases tomcat process hangs and website stops opening
and some times it goes very slow. The Problem gets sloved when i restart
tomcat service again.
Somebody please help me ..
Regards,
Deepak
