CLOSE_WAIT issue

[Xiong Shawn Zhang]

Hi,   There is an Axis web services app running in our production boxes, and the web container used is pure tomcat 5.0.25 (no Apache server used). We are now having service hanging issue. I checked the log files, everything normal (no exception). However, I found we have lots of CLOSE_WAIT tcp connections hanging, which related to the clients. Is there any body knows if there is an AXIS/TOMCAT configuration, or function, which could be used to force the connections to be closed (e.g. timeout)? Your help is highly appreciated.   Shawn
