Yes it is supposed to. We have done performance testing that proved that Axis2/C can serve more than 300 rps.

Unfortunately not. When valgrind runs, it makes the system slow, that prevents the system crashing in situations like that you are experiencing. To solve this kind of a problem, it is a must that you provide us with some sample code that can be used to reproduce the problem. Without having a way to re-produce the situation, there is no way to fix this problem - it could well be a problem in Axis2/C as well as it could also be in the code that you use.

Hi Raghav,

Can you please try this with --enable-guthilla=yes, and send the dump.log,
and also the appropriate log_files generated by the server/client.

There also can be issues with your "condition variable" being used in
multiple threads.

It also seems that if you pause between your requests you might get this
solved. According to what you say, when you increase the log_level,
obviously you waste some time there which might be the solution rather.
You can use the AXIS2_SLEEP() and AXIS2_USLEEP() inside Axis2/C to pause
between requests. You can get an idea on how to use these functions by
taking a look at the Axis2/C user_guide/client samples.

Regards,
Senaka

Thanks,

As suggested, I tried using axis2c-1.3.0 both with and without
--enable-guthilla=yes. But I still see different dumps consistently.
Please find the attached file with back-traces.

Are you using the same service client instance from multiple threads?
We have a axis thread pool with default number of threads and a set
of our own threads(about 10, lets call them "database threads").
+ On receiving a HTTP soap request, axis thread invokes the
appropriate
function that is bound to our logic.
+ Now, the axis thread requests a "database thread" to perform the
appropriate query and waits on a condition variable.
+ our "db thread" performs the necessary query and signals on that
condition variable so that axis thread shall take the control over.
+ axis thread will create the om output and dispatch as usual.

My doubts:
+ does this design has any apparent drawback when there is a flurry of
back-to-back soap requests?
+ Is there a need to increase the axis thread pool size? If yes, how
to
do it?
+ As told before, the dump is seen during a particular scenario only.
i.e: while trying to add a list of already existing users to my
database. For each user there is a SOAP request generated and the
requests are sequential, i.e the second request is sent only after the
response for previous request is received.
+ if I increase the log level of my own module that uses axis2c, there
is no dump. On increasing the log level, my module writes quite a bit
of
information to my log file.

Your help is appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,
~raghav

Thanks Manjula,

But thats not a viable option for us. We would still want to continue
using axis2C-1.0 for some more time.

Are these dumps well known?
No.

Are you using the same service client instance from multiple threads?
