Given that, I have two suggestions for possible problems and their solutions: 1. Lack of entropy for randomness. If you are using SSL connectors or your application uses sessions that are configured to use a SecureRandom object for session id generation (which might actually be the default these days), then your Tomcat process will need sufficient entropy to launch. This is easily identified via a thread dump. Solutions: use /dev/urandom (not recommended) or something like an Entropy Key (http://www.entropykey.co.uk/). 2. Long DNS lookup timeouts coupled with huge numbers of URL lookups. This can happen if you have lots of XML files being parsed and validated against remote DTDs or Schemas. This is easily identified via a series of thread dumps (you may be noticing a pattern, here). Solutions: fix your DNS and/or use something like XML Catalog (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML_Catalog). > I have forwarded your replies to the manager in charge of the > project and someone in his team has been looking into it so I don't > have any feedback just yet. You could save everyone some time and spend 2 minutes investigating this yourself: it doesn't take long to launch your app a few times and then get a thread dump while it's stalled. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.17 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlCYFhsACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PDcFgCgpWhmixVMac3kN7YwkdDKvyws NlAAmwbt8R49kF6VcjQTSHwJJYNFPYXz =wE7G -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
