---------------------------------------------------------------- BEFORE YOU POST, search the faq at <http://java.apache.org/faq/> WHEN YOU POST, include all relevant version numbers, log files, and configuration files. Don't make us guess your problem!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------- My configuation is: Apache/1.3.12 and ApacheJServ/1.1 on a HP-UX box, and also a WinNT4.0 box. I'd like code to be executed on server startup. This code connects to a database, and loads some application initialization stuff. It takes about 90 seconds to two minutes to run. In my zone.properties file, I've added: servlets.startup=MyLongRunningClass in MyLongRunningClass.java, there is an init method as follows: public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException { super.init(config); myLongRunningMethod(); } on the NT4 box, this method is executed fine, and the initialization stuff works just fine. On the HP-UX box, I'm not having any luck. The jserv.log file reports that the class is in fact being init-ed: <servletLog> MyLongRunningClass: init In my mod_jserv.log file, the following is being reported: (INFO) wrapper: Java VM spawned (PID=27055, PPID=26758) (INFO) wrapper: Java VM not responding (PID=26758) [timeout] (EMERGENCY) ajp12: ping: no reply (-1) Please make sure that the wrapper.classpath is pointing to the correct version of ApacheJServ.jar (INFO) wrapper: Java VM restarting (PID=26758) (INFO) wrapper: Java VM died 10 times in a row with less than 120 seconds between successive failures, setting delay to 300 seconds before restarting. Check the Apache error log and the Apache JServ log files for more details; for maximum log information be sure to enable the Apache JServ log file in the main jserv properties file by: setting the 'log' property to true, the 'log.file' property to a file writable by the uid as whom Apache JServ is run, and by enabling log channels using the 'log.channel.*' properties) this cycle continues for at least a half-hour, with each time the delay between sucessive failures increasing. If I comment out the servlets.startup directive from my zone.properties file, Jserv runs just fine on the HP-UX box. Any suggestions for how to make MyLongRunningClass work on the HP-UX box?
