Based upon your situation, I'd say you are using Java BIO and are thus limited to 400 connections. What version of Tomcat are you using? What connector eventually gets used? There are several: Java BIO Java NIO Java NIO2 APR You can tell from the startup messages what kind of connector you get; it's shown when the connector starts and emits an INFO message saying that it's configured. - -chris > -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Christopher Schultz > Gesendet: Sonntag, 16.

Blocked Tomcat while (due to?) "concurrent class loading"?
From time to time we encouter tomcats which block while starting up. The stacktraces of the then "running" (but effectively blocked) threads (one of them being the init servlet starting thread) look alike: ajp-nio-8059-exec-8 Stack Trace is: java.lang.Thread.State: RUNNABLE at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method) <-- STAYS HERE FOREVER at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:264) at ch.mysign.cms.commons.ReflectUtil.getClassForClassName(ReflectUtil.java:76) at ch.mysign.cms.commons.TorqueUtil.getTableName(TorqueUtil.java:2756) at ch.mysign.cms.security.AccessTableConfig.setPeerClassName(AccessTableConfig.java:82) at sun.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor605.invoke(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) ... i.e. there seems to be class loading ongoing. Unfortunately I cannot provide code that reproduces this (mis)behavior/bug. I can say though that the -XX:+AlwaysLockClassLoader JVM option "helps". Question 1: what happens if the init servlet spawns a thread and by coincidence (timing issue?) at the "very same time" the init servlet thread and the spawned thread try to load a (possibly even the same?) class? Question 2: is spawning a thread in the initservlet "allowed" at all? Context/environment: Debian Stretch JDK 1.8.0_162 Tomcat 8.5.28 To be noted: weh ad this "issue" with/in other environments too (even on Win10) ... Sorry for being so "fuzzy" but that's all we have to tell We can live for the moment with the AlwaysLockClassLoader-flag, but nevertheless would like to know if this is a bug or if we are doing something wrong ... Thx in advance! -Clemens

Message: Page not found! remote IP: '66.249.78.105', IP-RegExp: '!! Regex of IPs allowed !!' Okay, so this is your error handler checking the value of request.getRemoteAddr() and throwing an error because the IP address is not valid for that URL, right? What code is generating this log message? Does Velocity have anything to do with it? It's probably a red herring, honestly. Would it be possible to get a stack trace of the place where you detect the error? That would help figure out if there is a component where a problem might occur. How are you connecting httpd to Tomcat? What version of whatever are you using? Does this help? Yes. For instance, you never mentioned that you were using Apache httpd in front of Tomcat before. We DO NOT manipulate any request-object (no setters, are there ;)) and we DO NOT share a request-object accross requests. Worst that could (and does) happen is a request-object (in a velocitycontext) could be accessed for as long as a few minutes IF we spawn out a thread to handle a long running process ... rendering a pdf or alike. You need to stop doing this. If you want to service a long-lived request and allow the request-processing thread to go back into thread pool, you must use a formal async API or Bad Things will happen. The spec requires that a single thread handle the entire request when not using async, and the container (Tomcat) assumes that the web application is not playing games with the request, response, etc. objects that are bound to the request. If you are starting a new thread to generate a PDF but blocking the request-processing thread waiting for it to complete, then you are wasting time and resources with the second thread. If I understand you correctly, you are making a mistake that can corrupt your requests (and responses) at best and be a severe security vulnerability at worst. What is(was) definitely new to me is the fact that the HttpServletRequest-objects handed into the servlet are not immutable snapshots

So the first byte written/rendered by velocity sets the response to commited (right?). Not unless you have disabled all buffering. Are you using any of the Velocity Tools stuff, like VelocityViewServlet or VelocityLayoutServlet? AND yes we have templates which we access the request#getRemoteAddress (somewhere close the end). It should not matter. As long as you aren't storing the result of request.remoteAddress anywhere, Velocity won't cache it anywhere. So could it be that these accesses set the remoteAddress tot he caller oft he previous request? This shouldn't happen. But if you play games with storing request objects in various places, you could have a problem. This is why I asked about using VelocityViewServlet. Did you roll your own Velocity servlet?

By all means, post the relevant portion of the log file. I don't think this is of big help here. It would be very helpful if you'd answer my earlier question about how you take a request and route it to Velocity We put the request into the velocityContext and hence have the possibility to access whe(r|n)ever needed How do you know that the requests are coming from certain IPs and they are then being reported incorrectly in the access.log or in your own web pages. 1) in the access.log we see all requests 2) if a specific monitoring-URL is called from our monitoring site (which's IP we know ;) ), AND the IP does not match the monitoring site, we write out the remote IP into the app-log as an error Now if the load on our site is high (bots accessing) then we frm time to time see these errors AND in the access.log we see that reported IP matches the request before the monitoring request (from the bot) Hope this helps -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Christopher Schultz [mailto:ch...@christopherschultz.net] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 12.
