Please note, if I was not clear enough before, that my goal is to avoid that any failing Tomcat application hangs the whole web server (and site). This should not happen at all, whatever settings in the JK connector.. I am not going to solve this particular application's problem before the JK connection works properly - though I will send thread dumps as appropriate to the application developer, and drink a beer with him when this is all over.. but this is another story. I changed the settings just a bit, so now the IIS side JK connections are limited to 50 instead of the previous 250 and 300. I managed to schedule a few thread dumps (3, with a 5 seconds interval) and a Tomcat restart in case of troubles, and just implemented some more logging. I kept the faulty Tomcat app running all day. There were three failures today, but thanks to the logging I just added I can be only sure about the last one, and it was blocking the whole site. As usual, a simple Tomcat restart cured the whole site hang. The HTTP error the application gives, as well as the error of the site root (that BTW is a static html page) simply is: The connection with the server was terminated abnormally Very strangely, an (automated) netstat in this last event shows just four (4) ESTABLISHED connections on the Tomcat server from the IIS server when everything was failing. I am enclosing the last thread dump here, hoping it could shed some light. Please let me know - and forgive me - if I forgot to provide additional information, configuration files, etc. Some of my colleagues use to tell me: "Someone, somewhere in the world, had some problem using something. Can you please solve this."
