Re: Connection pool race condition
You could use Windows' service dependency management ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/193888) to start Tomcat only after Oracle reports that it's running. This might still cause problems if Oracle does the same as SQL Server and continues recovering after its official startup has finished. In that case, I'd try to write a small service that polled Oracle every few seconds till it started, then reported itself as started, and make Tomcat dependent on that. Service creation in Windows isn't too hard, but it's another moving part to support! - Peter On 27 April 2011 21:18, chris derham ch...@derham.me.uk wrote: All, So we have various tomcat services setup on windows.

If your bandwidth utilization is at 60% or over you are in trouble since collisions start to become a serious issue. Collisions may or may not be an issue, depending on the exact mode of operation of the congested network link. Collisions are a feature of the original Ethernet. They're still an issue on many Ethernets, but there are provisos even here. If your switch does store-and-forward, or you simply have a switched network and all the traffic is between two stations, then collisions are relatively unlikely and the Ethernet usage can go considerably higher than 60% before collisions and retries start to become significant. Sure, if you're on wireless or using an old 10baseT or Cheapernet hub, 60% is about the knee in the curve. But I'd be a little surprised if Dave were using such ancient technology for a critical piece of infrastructure such as this server :-). Point-to-point links, such as most broadband connections, do not suffer from collisions as the routers at each end store and forward traffic across the link. That said, by the time you get to 80% usage then each packet is typically going to have to queue behind several others. Even if this only adds a few milliseconds of latency each time, it builds up when you multiply it by the TCP 3-way handshake, 4-way FIN/ACK sequence, plus any data you're transferring. Dave, could you give us any more information about your network? What is the piece that's at 80% utilisation when you see the trouble? Is it a point-to-point connection, or an Ethernet LAN, or what? If it's Ethernet, what hardware are you using for connection? Tony - I also don't believe 2ms is the best you can get on Ethernet. If it was, most big machine rooms would have silted up with network traffic long ago ;-). It depends on what network technology you're using.

It's our internet connection to the outside world, which is a T-1, with a Cisco ASA for the firewall.

I have 34 Mbit/s down, 1.5 Mbit/s up to my house for the price of a decent restaurant meal for one per month. What might your upgrade options be? Also, see if the ASA can give you any usage statistics. There's a small chance that you're saturating your firewall if you have a very large number of short-lived connections. Cisco's figures don't always stack up here - in the past, I've had to debug load problems with Cisco routers that were supposed to be able to handle two ISDN PRIs, and couldn't when there was heavy call setup and termination load.

The point is that the password is not stored in clear on the client, when client means whatever host is trying to authenticate itself. It is of coursee fleetingly in memory at some point, to construct the authentication tokens, but is not kept. Only the token is kept. André, I'd be interested in how you arrived at these assertions. In particular, I don't believe your first sentence. I can start a service that logs on as a domain account when my domain member (a laptop) is not connected to the domain. Therefore the domain member is storing something somewhere, not just the DC. And any time something is stored somewhere it is subject to attack, as the Linux-based tools for changing Windows administrator passwords demonstrate rather well - Windows may not allow direct SAM hive access, but a foreign OS has no such compunctions. This is all a long way from the original subject, of course. I routinely use SSPI authentication to SQL Server when I can do, as it does reduce the attack surface somewhat. SSPI generally makes it harder for an attacker to retrieve the credentials used to authenticate a database client to SQL Server. It makes no difference to any attack that subverts the client directly in order to attack through an existing or client-created new connection, of course. - Peter

I love Smalltalk as a prototyping language, for example; but I don't use it for the inner loops of genomics code that's optimised to squeeze every piece of speed of of a particular AMD processor in a cluster, and that takes the time to process some experimental results down from a year to a day. Horses for courses. - Peter

I'd suggest you manage them all from a single servlet, so that you don't get hit by issues like the inability to control context startup orders. As all of your code then shares the same class loader, you can use whatever mechanism you wish to communicate between the modules. and at the end next threads have to send data using webservices or/and webdav (a lot of data and i need resume option if something goes wrong) That's fine; if the threads in your code are themselves making client connections to web services and/or WebDAV then the container won't give you any assistance anyway. It's up to you to make sure the client code works! Is my thinking correct ? It's certainly pretty close :-).

So: a) Make sure your Tomcat service is running as a user that is known to the network (not Local service, Local system or an account that is local to the server), otherwise your service will be unable to authenticate to the machine with the printer; b) Write yourself a batch file that does the net use and the copy, and invoke *that* from your system command.

At best, the failover takes several seconds, during which your app will fail to respond. Depending on your load and application design, the queued requests may be sufficient to run you out of heap memory, database handles and similar. I assume your goal is to improve reliability of end-user access to your application. If you have to use Windows, why would you take a DFS approach rather than using Windows' file replication to replicate files to multiple servers? The probability of network failure or poor performance is orders of magnitude higher than the probability of HDD subsystem failure or poor performance, so I would expect accessing apps from a remote network drive to worsen your reliability rather than improve it. - Peter
Re: Setting the Right Amount of Memory
On 20 June 2010 16:01, Caldarale, Charles R chuck.caldar...@unisys.comwrote: All modern GC algorithms are variations of mark-sweep-compact. The basic operation consists of following the object reference graph from a set of known roots (eg, thread stack frames), marking each discovered object with a found flag, and copying the found objects to an unoccupied area. Unreachable (dead) objects are never encountered, so their number or size does not come into play. The space occupied by dead objects is automatically reclaimed as live objects are copied over them. Note that in some variants, the cost of a compact *does* vary with the number of dead objects. In Squeak (Smalltalk), for example, each object header contains the object size, and hence by implication the address of the next object header. Squeak's GC compacts (after the mark phase) by starting at the bottom of object memory and iterating through each object, copying down the live ones and updating pointers on the way. In Java, this would only ever be necessary in OldSpace - with a generational GC where you're collecting anything other than the oldest generation, you just copy the live objects out as you encounter them and update any pointers to other objects in the same generation, after which you know the space is empty. Typically, the speed of such a compact is limited by the speed of access to memory. Most modern memory architectures will treat such sequential read access specially and start to read-ahead, so the memory overhead isn't as bad as it might be. My GC knowledge is a little out of date, so if any of the current GC experts wish to correct me I'll be interested! - Peter

Re: jsessionid problem
Richard, there are two ways of maitaining sessions: 1) Using cookies (generally Tomcat's preferred way); 2) Using URL rewriting (generally Tomcat's less preferred way, used where a client has turned off cookies). There are no other ways of sending session IDs that are supported by all Web browsers across all content types, though I could conceive of some extra ones if you were using AJAX. Remember that the browser has to know to send the session ID back to the server with the next request; this can only be done using cookies or some feature of the URL. All that said, I'm surprised Tomcat isn't using cookies in your case. Have you turned them off in the browser? Have you turned on the use of URL rewriting in the webapp's config? - Peter On 21 May 2010 16:06, Richard Nduka richies4...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I have a few quesations i want to ask about jessionid in tomcat. 1.

You are reserving heap and permgen memory when the JVM starts. Thread memory, and kernel resources for threads, are outside of this total. Due to problems with one of our webapps which sometimes does not close the threads completely (they stuck in close_wait-state) we increased the max threads of windows: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/pvcvoice/51x/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.websphere.wvs.doc/wvs/tun_conwin.html That has nothing to do with threads (and CLOSE_WAIT is a feature of TCP, not of threads). That link contains no information about increasing the maximum number of threads in Windows. It links to TCP/IP tuning. Wrong link, or wrong assumption? maxUserPorts have been set to about 30k if i remember correctly. That has nothing to do with threads. Does anyone have an idea to get rid of the exception? *Decrease* the number of threads in use in Tomcat 1.

Re: Updating webapps classes
It's very hard to do this using one Tomcat instance. It's very easy to do this using two Tomcat instances (call them Tomcat1 and Tomcat2) and a load balancer (Apache httpd should be fine for this job). In normal use, Tomcat1 is running. The load balancer directs all users to Tomcat1. Tomcat2 could even be stopped. To upgrade, you upgrade Tomcat2 (and start it if needed) and tell the load balancer that new sessions should be sent to Tomcat2. Once all user sessions are off Tomcat1, you upgrade it and tell the load balancer to direct new sessions to Tomcat1. Once all user sessions are off Tomcat2, you can shut it down again or leave it running for fault tolerance. If you have enough RAM on your server (and the load is low enough), you could even run all three of Tomcat1, Tomcat2 and httpd on the same server. Does this help? - Peter On 30 April 2010 14:46, Gabriele Bulfon gbul...@sonicle.com wrote: Hello, I don't know if I'm asking something stupid, but I'm investigating this for days, and found nothing around.

For no good reason that anyone on this list has been able to fathom, the .exe doesn't contain the batch files; the .zip download does. To get this running, I suggest you: 1) Download the .zip version of 6.0.20; 2) Unzip it somewhere safe; 3) Copy the missing .bat files to your second installation; 4) Carry on with what you were doing now that you have the files.

Re: can't seem to migrate this app over to a new server
The SSL configuration for a Tomcat 5.5 server is described at http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/ssl-howto.html. To quote from the top of that file, this assumes you're not using APR (Apache Portable Runtime). APR is not the default configuration as I recall - if you don't know that you are using APR, you're probably not! I'll leave someone who knows more about the crypto side to answer your question about the JKS file. Can you set this up and test it in two stages? In the first stage, set up Tomcat and the webapp and see whether you can get to the app through normal HTTP. In the second stage, set up SSL. The main thing that might prevent this is if there's a transport guarantee of CONFIDENTIAL in your application's WEB-INF/web.xml file - if there is, you might want to comment that out while testing over HTTP, then put it back after you've got SSL working! A google for something like web-inf web.xml transport-guarantee will give you more details.

Usually, the issue is relying on the class path rather than including *all* the jars you need with the webapp. Webapps are intended to be self-contained, and servlet containers such as Tomcat can modify the classpath, use their own classloaders that load classes in a well-defined order that is not what a Java developer expects, and other oddities. - Peter

looping over 27 pages of varying complexity.
Again, can you force the issue by tuning which pages are requested?
Proxysniffer reports all errors as Network Connection aborted by Server
but when we look at each error in detail we can see that they don't all
occur at the same stage in the request cycle. Some occur on transmit http
request, some on open network connection, some on wait for server
response, but all within the same second.
It'd be interesting to run (say) Wireshark and sniff the TCP connections.
In particular, that sounds like TCP RSTs coming off the server but it would
be good to verify that and to see at which points in the negotiation they
happen.
The application logs show nothing unusual. The access logs show nothing
unusual. We've included the session ids in the tomcat logs and the failing
urls doesn't show up in the access log at all for the given session id
(cookies are shown in the error report).
That's interesting; I'll leave better-qualified people to comment on what
code paths this eliminates.
We've been able to match some of the errors with full collections reported
by the flags -verbose:gc -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps but
some errors occur where there are no full GC occuring.
How long do your full GCs take?

My idea was, to manage the whole communication direct with the SQL database instead of tomcat-users.xml. It is possible to make a full working system without any local stored password in the properties file? It is possible to use Windows internal Kerberos (etc) authentication with domain users etc and start the SQL Server and Tomcat Server with Serviceaccounts? You can certainly start both using service accounts and use Windows authentication - both the jTDS and Microsoft JDBC drivers support Windows authentication into SQL Server. However, I'm not sure what this buys you, as a cracker who knew what they were doing could simply add their own code to a webapp to extract whatever details they wished from the database, with the same credentials as the webapp. Of course, that webapp should not connect to SQL Server using sa, or in fact anything in the sysadmin or dbo roles. At this point, assuming you keep a different password for each machine, I cannot see why Windows authentication is significantly more secure than storing the account's password in cleartext. Also, if you are taking the laptops offline, I would be *very* cautious about using domain accounts as service accounts. Windows will cache domain credentials for some time, but not for ever. You do not want the application to fail due to losing the cached credentials. - Peter

Find a few of the objects that you think are causing the problem and trace back their references - what's holding on to them? Also, Pid makes a very important point.
