Hi, A user of Apache Wicket has reported a problem where Tomcat hangs when writing the response to the browser - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-5530
The application tries to upload a file (with Ajax) with bigger size than the allowed one. Then in the Ajax response it tries to write 16K+ bytes and Tomcat hangs with tracktrace like: Thread [qtp263823398-19] (Suspended) owns: ByteArrayOutputStream2 (id=69) owns: AbstractHttpConnection$OutputWriter (id=70) SocketOutputStream.socketWrite0(FileDescriptor, byte[], int, int) line: not available [native method] SocketOutputStream.socketWrite(byte[], int, int) line: 113 SocketOutputStream.write(byte[], int, int) line: 159 ByteArrayBuffer.writeTo(OutputStream) line: 375 SocketConnector$ConnectorEndPoint(StreamEndPoint).flush(Buffer) line: 164 HttpGenerator.flushBuffer() line: 850 HttpGenerator(AbstractGenerator).blockForOutput(long) line: 507 AbstractHttpConnection$Output(HttpOutput).write(Buffer) line: 170 AbstractHttpConnection$Output(HttpOutput).write(byte[], int, int) line: 107 ByteArrayOutputStream2(ByteArrayOutputStream).writeTo(OutputStream) line: 154 AbstractHttpConnection$OutputWriter(HttpWriter).write(char[], int, int) line: 288 AbstractHttpConnection$OutputWriter(HttpWriter).write(String, int, int) line: 112 AbstractHttpConnection$OutputWriter(HttpWriter).write(String, int, int) line: 101 AbstractHttpConnection$1(PrintWriter).write(String, int, int) line: 456 .... There is a demo app attached to the ticket and an attachment with the full stacktrace. I personally wasn't able to reproduce it but two users have been able to do it with Tomcat 7.0.47 on Windows. Any help/hints are welcome! Martin Grigorov Wicket Training and Consulting
