Hi everyone,
I have a web application that I am running on Tomcat 4.1.24. This web application consists of some JSPs, some Servlets and some Tag Libraries. I did some testing using Jmeter where I logged the results with PerfMon in Windows XP. I noticed that the average CPU usage grows linearly as time goes by. For example, if I let the test run for about 16 hours, the avg CPU goes from 10% to about 40%. I also notice that the Page file bytes increases with time. All the other counters that I logged look ok. The web application that I am using uses the httpsession to store information. I know that the session timeout is 30 minutes on the Tomcat server that I am running. Is it possible that this might be causing this increase in average CPU? Can anyone suggest any reasons why this might be happening? I've never seen the average CPU to grow before so I am baffled by this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Bart
