Hi, Thanks for the tip Sebastian, but it doesn't work for me. I added your class, wrapped all the output streams and synchronized close events but the result is the same.
Exception in thread "MessageSender[]" java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.coyote.http11.InternalNioOutputBuffer.addToBB( InternalNioOutputBuffer.java:607) at org.apache.coyote.http11.InternalNioOutputBuffer.commit( InternalNioOutputBuffer.java:600) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProcessor.action( Http11NioProcessor.java:1032) at org.apache.coyote.Response.action(Response.java:181) at org.apache.coyote.http11.InternalNioOutputBuffer.doWrite( InternalNioOutputBuffer.java:571) at org.apache.coyote.Response.doWrite(Response.java:560) at org.apache.catalina.connector.OutputBuffer.realWriteBytes( OutputBuffer.java:353) at org.apache.tomcat.util.buf.ByteChunk.flushBuffer(ByteChunk.java :434) at org.apache.tomcat.util.buf.ByteChunk.append(ByteChunk.java:349) at org.apache.catalina.connector.OutputBuffer.writeBytes( OutputBuffer.java:381) at org.apache.catalina.connector.OutputBuffer.write( OutputBuffer.java:370) at org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteOutputStream.write( CoyoteOutputStream.java:89) at org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteOutputStream.write( CoyoteOutputStream.java:83) at com.cognotec.streaming.SynchronizedOutputStream.write( SynchronizedOutputStream.java:25) at com.cognotec.streaming.CometRateSender.run(CometRateSender.java :86) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:595) (As I said, I also synchronized all the close method calls either in stream either in comet event) So, the question is: Is this a bug or simply I have reached the scalability limit for my box?

Hi, I had the same problems. It was a synchronization issue with me. What I did was make a synchronized output stream wrapper (see attached file) which wraps all access to the output stream, and I synchronized on this output stream whenever I called event.close() on the Comet event (especially in the READ event). When doing serveral IO operations on the output stream which should not be interrupted, you can simply synchronize on it (since SynchronizedOutputStream locks on itself).
