Folks a quick question arises to my mind looking at this scenario, although my immediate problem is solved but this brings to light few more things
Not sure what exactly was happening in background when processing stops but this may be a likely scenario which might happen in case of too many long running requests. 1. BasicDatasource is never complaining or throwing exception about no more connection is available, or pool statistics so that someone can increase the pool size. 2. Camel routes and threads I think waiting for connection should have a timeout and warn about thread not being available or something wrong is happening and thread is stuck for a duration Some admin interface or monitor which can kill such stuck threads on admin request if required etc. There were no exceptions anywhere in logs indicating something is wrong, all Mbeans would still mention routes are in state "STARTED" -- View this message in context: http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/Timers-stop-firing-after-certain-unpredictable-interval-tp3370457p3373240.html Sent from the Camel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
