We are running Tomcat 6. 0.32 with jdk1.6.0_26 on Solaris 10, mod_ajp 1.3 and
Apache 2.2.21 on all but one production server which is the same except for
it's running Tomcat 7.0.21.
I have some questions regarding connection timeout settings. Occasionally, when
the site is busier we see jumps in the number of connections to 8009 and then
that number stays high for about 30 minutes before settling back down into our
average range. A thread dump shows that these connections correspond to these
socket threads:
"TP-Processor222" daemon prio=3 tid=0x00c76400 nid=0x5669 runnable [0x8cf7f000]
java.lang.Thread.State: RUNNABLE

The problem isn't so much that they stick around, but when these first start
increasing, there is a noticeable hit in performance and evidence that threads
are waiting for resources. Oddly, the one trial Tomcat 7 server with the same
connector, load and code never experiences this problem. We currently don't
have a connectionTimeout specified for our connector so my plan is to try the
following:
<Connector port="8009" protocol="AJP/1.3" connectionTimeout="20000"
redirectPort="8443" />
Here are my questions:
*Do I also need to set the connection_pool_timeout in the worker? Or is that
the one I should be changing instead of connectionTimeout?
*Is there a different time out setting I should be looking at?
*Is there an easy explanation as to why Tomcat 7 never experiences this issue?
I'm just wondering (o.k. hoping) that there is some magic Tomcat 7 default
setting some place that we can add to our Tomcat 6 environments that can help
us out until we've upgraded everything.
Thank you,
Kari
