What decides that a thread is idle?

Hello, I'm currently having to use tomcat 3.2 in a production environment. Moving to 3.3 or 4.0 is not an option (for at least 6 months). I'm wrestling with the ThreadPool exhausted issue and am trying to understand how a thread becomes idle. I don't see the thread become available as soon as

Craig et.al. Recently I posted a vague question w.r.t. Multi-byte support in tomcat 4.0.2. Somewhat similar to the oracle at delphi, by asking a general question, I got a general answer. I now have a specific case where there appears to be a problem with multi-byte support in the latest

mod_Webapp doesn't want to build on NT. It's lacking a libapr.mak file and, when the libapr.dsp project is run, tries to compile unix stuff. Is there any way to get ahold of the build scripts that created the downloadable binaries for mod_webapp? -Thom -Original Message- From: Barry
