Tomcat 5.0.28 running Windows 2003 Server CPU to 100%

[David Bilodeau]

Can anyone point me to a thread discussing the following configuration or something similar, where the discussion relates to the CPU running up to 100%?   Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition running IIS 6.0 Tomcat 5.0.28 installed and running (as a service) SQL Server 2000 SP3 connected to Tomcat (and IIS), but running from another server.   Our symptom is that after a few days the server CPU usage hits 100%, with Tomcat consuming most of it.  Stopping and restarting each Tomcat virtual site, or stopping & restarting the Apache service does not resolve the issue.  Only a box reboot will.   I need some guidance as to where to suggest to the developers they should look, presuming this is caused by the code.  I am the system admin of the environment and so do not develop the code myself, but I am seeing this symptom and now need to ask the developers to examine their code to find a root cause.   I bet someone, somewhere, has run across this on a thread on this forum and can point me to it?  I've been searching some but have not found much yet that is recent.   Regards,      David Bilodeau Enterprise Marketing & Sales Automation Verizon Data Services, Inc. 919 Hidden Ridge, HQM03C76 Irving, TX 75038
