One easy way to expose this kind of bug is to load >test your webapp before deploying. Throw the load you get in 16 hrs at tomcat and you'll likely see the memory leak. In all cases, issues with performance was due to a bug in our application. egular load testing is the best way to expose these issues during development. peter

So what does that mean about > this configuration? connectionTimeout is defined in milliseconds, not seconds, so that is 60 seconds, not 16 hours. > Is some servlet not returning content but hanging on to a connection? Could be, or could be that your server is really busy. When you look at the server-status through Apache, does it show 255 processes busy as well? > Could you explain a little further about 'bug in a servlet causing it to > not return'? You could either have a deadlock (synchronization issue) in your code, or an infinite loop. > I have a stack trace, but I don't see how that helps me figure out where > my problem might be... I'm not sure what exactly to look for. Compress it and post it to the list or put it on a public webserver so we can take a look.
