Hi, I'm using Tomcat 6.0 (6.035 for now).
I've got an issue with balancing multiple connections from httpd to tomcat. It looks like tomcat is opening http port (8080) right after startup, and is accepting connections on it. At the same time, application itself is starting for about 1-2 minutes, depending on server speed. Because connections are accepted to http port, httpd is not removing starting tomcat from balancer members. As result, a lot of connections are directed to currently starting tomcat, but no connections are served during application startup. I have multiple tomcat servers behind http. If I want to restart one of these servers, httpd will still pass requests to it, making users to wait long time before response is received. Is it possible to configure tomcat to open http port only after application is fully started? I found that AJP port is started only after application startup, unfortunately system is fully configured to use http, and migrating to AJP generate too much overhead for us. Thanks, Vladimir Girnet
