We have a web-application that runs under Tomcat 4.0.3 on a Debian system with JRE 1.4.1. Our application has worked fine for a couple of months but after a recent upgrade of the webapp we have had several crashes of the application. We are unable to find the cause of the crashes but this is what we can figure out from the log-files: The application runs without problems for some time but then suddenly it starts giving 404 (Not found) responses, it does this for a while (less than a minute) and then gives 500 responses (Server error). A couple of minutes later we find the following error in the catalina_log: 2003-02-12 18:53:07 HttpConnector[8180] accept: java.net.SocketException: Too many open files at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketAccept(Native Method) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.accept(PlainSocketImpl.java:353) at java.net.ServerSocket.implAccept(ServerSocket.java:439) at java.net.ServerSocket.accept(ServerSocket.java:410) at org.apache.catalina.connector.http.HttpConnector.run(HttpConnector.java:993) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:536)
It seems that there are too many open filehandles but it's unclear whether this is the cause or a consequense of the crash. Has anyone ever had this problem before?
