You mentioned that your users get an error when whatever happens to Tomcat happens. Can you describe that error? I think you said something like "not enough components". Does that appear on a stack trace, or as an error message to the user? I'm wondering if you are running out of database connections. (Although, unless you require a database connection to shut down the server, it wouldn't explain the fact that you have to kill -9 the server). The infinite loop suggestion has a better chance of explaining /that/. Can you wait for the server to get all messed up and take more careful notes? That's probably the best next step to take. Check out CPU usage (just run 'top' and see how much CPU time the java process is taking). If the CPU isn't being eaten by java, then it's probably not a "code out of control" problem. Check all your log files: catalina.out, localhost_*.log, [appname]_*.log, and any application-specific logs you may have (such as log4j.log). These can usually be found in the TOMCAT_HOME/logs directory. Certainly post a stack trace if you get one in any of those log files. Another thing you can to is trigger a thread dump. From that, it's (sometimes) possible to see that all the request handler threads are stuck waiting on some resource. Send a QUIT (sig 3) to the application instead of KILL (sig 9) and that should emit a thread dump (stack trace for every live thread) to standard output (usually redirected to catalina.out). You can inspect it yourself to see if you can detect anything fishy, or go ahead and post it to the list and we'll see if we can give you any advice. The fact that a previous developer mentioned off-hand that "something might be wrong with the memory" is not exactly encouraging, since I'm guessing he or she didn't give you any indication of /where/ that memory problem might be. That pretty much means that you're going to have to start from scratch. :( Good luck, - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFp8ZH9CaO5/Lv0PARAjzCAJ43KFJuG6bza+zLGIAKygFJ97yAqACgw11n bRAlQBGHIn6WlDZN0nzYyQg= =T4kv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
