Subject: Re: role of the various threads?

Further reading has shown me that I'm using Tomcat5.5,
and that the theads (above) are all running accept().

I thought accept() was blocking?

Depends on the particular JRE being used on the particular platform.  I would 
expect them to be blocking in most instances, but some esoteric systems use 
polling.  You're getting down to a level that requires examination of not just 
Tomcat source code, but also JRE source and the platform's TCP/IP stack source 
- a bit beyond the normal scope of a support forum.

It appears that hprof is counting blocked threads
(since that *is* what the program is "doing"
for some meanings of "doing").

So the threads are "doing" accept() but not actively
consuming cycles whilst running accept().

Sigh. Thanks, hprof.
