The required changes are too critical to apply them jfarcand to the 4.1.x trunk. Wait a couple of days and try it with jfarcand soon to be release 5.0.15, which is a stable Tomcat 5. Ouch. :( Thank you for the response. I was not looking forward to deploying a brand new tomcat in my production environment. I have a few additional questions/comments inline: As a shorter-term workaround, you might try one or more of the following: - if open filehandles are not maintained for individual class files, try expanding your jars into each classloader's corresponding classes directory (i.e shared/lib/*.jar into shared/classes, etc). I'm confused by this, why would I _want_ filehandles maintained for individual classes? Or am I misunderstanding your suggestion? Right now tomcat touches a class and moves on, which is ideally what I want it to do with the jar's. - try combining multiple jars into a single jar: make a temporary directory, unpack each jar into it, then jar up the temporary directory. Again, you'd need to do this on a per-classloader basis If doing this, be careful of signed jars. You'll need to unsign them by removing any META-INF/*.SF, META-INF/*.RSA, and META-INF/MANIFEST.MF files. I was playing around with this and achieved a decent amount of success. Can the same be done with the tomcat supplied jar's (say /server/lib/*) without negative effect? - try increasing the number of file descriptors at the os level. With a solaris machine, that's rlim_fd_cur and rlim_fd_max in /etc/system. I'm not sure about linux (/proc/sys/fs/file-max?) This is the last thing I'm looking into. I'd much rather get the application to behave than to tune a kernel for a poorly performing app, but if nothing else works I'll finish with that.

Right now tomcat touches a class and moves on, which is ideally what I want it to do with the jar's. Or, perhaps I misunderstood your observations. Let me try to break it down into a little more detail. - single class files: the class loader opens the .class file, loads the class than closes the file. No lingering open file handles. (My read through your initial message gave me the impression that this was the behavior you were observing). that is correct - jar files: classloader opens the jar file, does decompression if necessary, and memory mapping of the jar contents, then loads some number of classes from the jar (but not necessarily all of them). From an efficiency standpoint, it kind of makes sense to keep a handle open, so that it's not necessary to do all of that work repeatedly when searching for a class (see also http://java.sun.com/webservices/faq.html#size) If open FD's to jar files are the problem, try working around it by replacing the jars with the equivalent directory tree of expanded class files (where each class file will be opened, read, and closed as it is needed). and that makes perfect sense now. I just needed it spelled out a little more I guess. Having read that FAQ the 'keeping those file handles open' does make sense to me. What we have seen is our tomcat engine crash twice in the last 72 hours, and hadn't seen enough info to track down the specific cause, so I was really trying to just trim file handles down, and the .jar's seemed a likely candidate. However since my last post I have discovered that this looks like a nasty code bug in our software more than a simple tomcat-is-a-filehog problem, so we'll hit it from there. FWIW I did uncompress and recombine all jars in tomcat and my app into 3 .jar files and saw some significant decreases (1200+) in the number of filehandles open. So again, many thanks! -matthew -- Matthew Boeckman(816) 777-2160 Manager - Systems Integration Saepio Technologies - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
open filehandles
Hello list, I have a problem that has occurred under tomcat-4.1.12/j2sdk1.4.1_02 that caused me to want to ask the group a question. The problem was Too many open files, java.io.FileNotFoundException . In looking into this, I notice that Tomcat seems to keep a LOT of open file handles around. Let me explain our setup, we run multiple (~12-15) virtual hosts from the same tomcat engine, with apache in front handing off via mod_jk, all on Linux 2.4.9. What I noticed is that Tomcat seems to keep a file handle to every .jar file in it's own CLASSPATH (/usr/local/tomcat-4.1.12/shared /commons /lib, etc) as well as in the unique hosts' classpath, per unique thread. So what I'm seeing is 5000+ file handles open to the same .jar files over and over again. My questions are twofold: Is this tunable/fixable/changeable? Why are .jar file handles maintained in an open state indefinately, when classfiles/config files etc are not? Any replies appreciated -Matthew -- Matthew Boeckman(816) 777-2160 Manager - Systems Integration Saepio Technologies - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

jk vs jk2
I've got tomcat 4.1.12 succesfully going with Apache 1.3.26 using mod_jk. I notice that on the tomcat connectors page, it claims that mod_jk is deprecated and that I should be using jk2 (coyote) instead. I'm willing to give this a try, as I'm having some performance issues on 4.1.12 and I'm hoping jk2 will help out. HOWEVER, I cannot seem to find any documentation on how to implement it on the apache side! There is some scant and very poorly written documentation that I've been able to find, apparently for using it on IIS, but nothing on how to do it with apache1.3 ! Am I missing some obvious links? I also seem to recall reading or seeing somewhere that jk2 was great, but not ready for production. Any opinions for or against utilizing it in production systems at this time?

Re: OutofMemoryError
We have figured this out, although for the life of me I can't understand why. We had been running with java -server -Xms128m -Xmx256m -Xincgc and saw the VM climb way up to 2GB, then drop the tomcat process. By removing the -server flag, everything is fine. I realise this means that the JVM is defaulting to 'client'... so I guess is anyone aware of memory holes in the 1.3.1 JVM on linux? I've dug around deja c and seen a few references to this suspicion but nothing concrete. I'm going to start working on Tomcat 4 and jdk1.4.0 in my lab this morning, hopefully the problem is fixed in 1.4.0! Thanks for all the responses!

Re: OutofMemoryError
I noticed something about this on the tomcat 4.0 download site : IMPORTANT NOTE: Virtual machine crashes have been reported when using Linux 2.4 with Sun JVM version 1.2.x and 1.3.x. See the release notes below for more details. (the release notes simply restate this rather useless paragraph) One would think that would have been somewhat more prominently displayed somewhere, but I never saw it until I went to get 4.0.3 ... We had seen the VM go past Xms before, but it only starts crashing in certain fairly high session situations. I'm working on some tests for jdk1.4.0 and TM 4.0.3 now.

tomcat3.0-4.0 conversion problem with JSP's
Hello List! I'm having some difficulty in my conversion from Tomcat 3 to Tomcat 4. Although 3 has been stable, we've never been able to get multiple Vhosts running under a single JVM. Fortunately I have that working with Tomcat4.0 for servlets, but now, for some reason, my JSP's are failing. FWIW I basically kept all my old Apache configs, dumping the Jserv stuff in favor of WebAppDeploy. Previously (tomcat 3), I had in httpd.conf: AddType text/jsp .js AddHandler jserv-servlet .jsp and in my server.xml files: Context path=/jsp docBase=/path-to/jsp debug=0 reloadable=true and that was about it, for my Tomcat 4 server.xml, I put the same Context Path statement, and left the AddType/Handler stuff in httpd.conf. So the problem is that now Apache doesn't seem to know what a .js or .jsp file is! When I hit one of them, it just loads the jsp code up in my browser. I'm sure that there is some voodoo I'm missing to get Apache to pass the jsp's off to the new Tomcat setup, but as there isn't any documentation examples (that I can find) I'm at a loss.
