I have turned on direct connection to all the instances of the apps and there is one that does not respond.

Which is why you are getting that message, however misleading the text of the message may be.


I did indeed discover that the problem was in the app. When one instance of my app hangs, JavaMonitor says that wotaskd is hung and all kinds of bad things happen. Either the apache adaptor does not redirect to a functioning instance or if it does, it does so after a long pause.

How long? The default is 15 seconds. If you have multiple hung instances, it could redirect to one of them.


Is there some reason that JavaMonitor/wotaskd/Apache Adptor can not deal correctly with a hung instance? Is there anything I can do to make it behave better?

Define better. It deals with it fairly well, given that it can only assume what some symptoms might mean.


Also, I have to turn direct connect off to be able to do the refuse new sessions, so is there another way to figure out which app is hung so that it can be killed?

Look at the stack trace, like below. Also look for growing numbers of worker threads. If you have more than 16, you probably have a problem.

I did run jstack and it does appear that some threaded code in my app is deadlocked. I will attempt to fix that.
