Hi,
I'm using Apache 1.3.20 and Tomcat 3.3m4 and I have the following
problem:
I have a simple servlet which responds to GET requests by returning a
web page with some binary content. The precise content is selected by a
parameter, e.g: http://host/servlet/get?p=1
Accessing the servlet from Tomcat standalone, everything works fine.
However, when using mod_jk (AJPv13) to access Tomcat from Apache, things
work well until after the server has been under heavy load.
Once the server has been loaded up, I start getting bizarre behaviour:
Apache will return the output of the *previous* servlet invocation.
Given the sequence:
http://host/servlet/get?p=1
http://host/servlet/get?p=2
the first request will return some old result and p=2 will return the
result expected from p=1.
>From my servlet logs, I know that the p=1 request reaches the servlet
and the right content is generated (and I can confirm this by accessing
the servlet directly on port 8080, by-passing Apache). But Apache
resolutely returns the "old" content.
This feels like some kind of buffering problem - perhaps in mod_jk, or
maybe in Apache itself. Has anyone else seen anything like this? Any
suggestions on how I can diagnose the problem?
