Hello,
We are using tomcat 5.0.25 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux server. There two
applications in webapps. We are facing an issue from around 3-4 months
where the CPU utilization by java process (tomcat) goes quite high:
around 400% in every 4-5 days. The application gets very slow and tomcat
needs to be restarted for normal operation. The output of top command is
as below-
[EMAIL PROTECTED] jakarta-tomcat-5.0.25]# top

This was status at certain instant of time. After 5 hours from this
instant, the utilization reached to 400% and also there were many
threads which were using almost 150% of CPU time.
The system configuration is -
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# wget --quiet -O - --user admin --password nimda
http://localhost:8080/manager/serverinfo
OK - Server info
Tomcat Version: Apache Tomcat/5.0.25

Please can any one tell me possible cause for this issue? This issue has
become very critical and needs to be fixed out soon.

Sumit Gaikaiwari
