I run a servlet on tomcat 5.5.27, jvm 1.6.0_10-b33, and fedora
2.6.21.7-2.fc8xen. The service has a problem: after running for a
certain time, the servlet becomes unavailable because of "too many
open files" exception:
2010-05-13 23:58:14,575 DEBUG - Reload config...
2010-05-13 23:58:14,575 ERROR - java.io.FileNotFoundException:
/root/Applications/tomcat-dev/webapps/MyServices/WEB-INF/classes/conf/MyConf.properties
(Too many open files)
To find out actually what files were opened too many times, I listed
all of them and some of them are shown below:
...
java 11515 root 282r REG 8,1 197 182030
/root/Applications/tomcat-dev/conf/Catalina/localhost/._manager.xml
java 11515 root 283r REG 8,1 197 182028

java 11515 root 289r REG 8,1 197 182032

java 11515 root 290r REG 8,1 197 182030

java 11515 root 291r REG 8,1 197 182028

/root/Applications/tomcat-dev/conf/Catalina/localhost/._Push.xml
...
where "java 11515" is tomcat. "MyConf.properties" does not appear on
the above list. So, it is obvious the problem is due to those 3 xml
files. Seems that tomcat keeps opening these 3 xml files until the
limit is reached.
So, my question is why tomcat keeps opening them and what is the
trigger of the operation? For your reference, these 3 files are
listed:
_________Push.xml_______

Any thoughts?
