Hello All,
We have an environment at my current place of employment where we deploy an
application in a JBoss 4.0.5GA (we will call this applicationA) server and
JBoss Messaging 1.0.1 SP5 (messaging server) on another Box in another Jboss
container. There is a third application which acts as a gateway and posts
request messages on a queue. ApplicationA is setup to listen to the request
queue via Spring Configurations (Listener Container) and posts responses using
a JMSTemplate.
Now before anyone jumps the gun to tell me how badly the Spring JMSTemplate is
with JBoss Messaging, please note that I have read the documentation and I
accept that there might be some issues with that. However, we have been able to
use this setup for at least a good month without any problems until now. Now,
we have noticed a pileup up threads going as high as over 10K threads at one
point. At this point, nothing works. Messages cannot be placed on the queues,
or picked up from the queues.
Also, please note that before you tell me to upgrade to Jboss 4.2 and a higher
version of Messaging, I would like to know what is wrong with the versions I
currently have. I also have a few questions which I hope somebody will be able
to answer.
1.) The Web Console Screen shows the number of threads. If this number relates
to the total number of threads, How does one
i.) Create configurations to reduce the number of threads being used at any
one time?
ii.) Configure the Application server so that unused threads are returned to
the pool as soon as possible?
iii.) Identify which threads are created because of the Jms connections and
which threads are created for other purposes like the Http endpoints etc?
iv.) Limit the existence of other threads so that JMS Services are of a higher
priority?
2.) The Redhat documentation says :
5.2. Changing the Database
The JMS service in the JBoss AS uses relational databases to persist
its messages. For improved performance, you should change the JMS service to
take advantage of the external database
Pasted from
<http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/jboss/jboss-eap-4.3/doc/messaging/JBoss_Messaging_User_Guide/html/conf.changingds.html>
i.) How does changing the external database improve the performance?
ii.) Does it free up resources somewhere? And where?
3.) In terms of the Queues
i.) How do they store/reference messages
ii.) Is there any impact of a high number of messages arriving on a queue at
any point in time against the number of threads?
iii.) What work do the threads created actually perform on a queue?
