Hello,

Can anyone give some advice on what the issue may be? We have a web application 
folder in Tomcat that have been slowing the http request's connection to 
another third party system when there are high traffic. It seems to be halting 
in the Tomcat server for about 20 - 50 seconds before attempting to connect to 
the third party system. Once it tries to connect to the third party system, the 
response time is only about 6 - 10 seconds which is normal. It does not seem to 
be an issue at the third party's end as the response time is quick once we get 
connected.

Here are the specs that we have and additional information...

1) Apache Tomcat 7.0.56
2) JVM version 1.7
3) Running on Linux OS Version 2.6.32

Connection Flow:
1) User submits a HTTP request from web application to Tomcat
2) Tomcat calls Java's servlet code along with HTTP request parameters
3) Java servlet code connects to third party system via application server and 
jolt port
4) Third party system returns requested information

We thought it would be a session issue which we lowered the session timeout 
(just for that folder) in WEB-INF folder to 5 minutes from defaulted 30 minutes 
but it is still doing the same thing.

Any advice on what it may be? Let me know if you need additional information.

Thank you in advance!

Thone
