Seen that mod_jk has a "socket_keepalive" option for the Apache side, my proposal consists in adding a similar setting in the Tomcat side.
Advantages:
If you pull the power cord of your Apache server (or something else bad happens to it), Tomcat will notice shortly after, and will close the associated connections, thus freeing threads, which are limited by maxThreads.
I know it is an unlikely situation, but I still think it is a good idea.
Suggestions welcome!
Yours,
