Hello there, When I use apache + mod_jk + tomcat I see something \strange\.
When I connect my browser via apache to a servlet, hit the refresh button before I got a response this happens: - the tcp connection between browser and tomcat server is dropped. - apache knows that it's thread can be recycled and stops serving this useless request. - tomcat doesn't stop processing the request to the servlet. - a new processor is started. - the old one exits after a while with a 'Broken pipe' message. (jara.io.IOException) Is there any way to get the java/tomcat thread stopped when apache detects that a certain request is no longer needed ? At this moment, if I just keep refreshing some servlet my machine gets way to slow due to the fact that it has to process a lot of useless requests. As you can understand, suppose a servlet takes 2 seconds to process, the more I hit refresh, the slower the processing of a thread becomes, and the more people get fed up waiting for a response and hitting refresh, and the slower the tomcat server gets .... After a while, the tomcat doesn't even respond anymore. I found some solution in tuning the min/max processors in server.xml, tuning the acceptCount etc... but I think the main solution lies in the way tomcat handles the 'no longer needed' requests. Maybe another connector between apache and tomcat does tell tomcat it can stop the request ? As far as I know the ajp13(mod_jk) protocol is an asynchronous protocol. Is that correct ?
