Hi all, we have problems with AJP13 through a firewall. Our configuration is as follows:
Webserver: SUN Solaris 2.8 (SPARC), Apache 1.3.24 with mod_jk 1.2 (from jakarta-tomcat-connectors-4.0.2-01-src.tar.gz), configured to use AJP13 Firewall: Checkpoint FW1 Tomcat: SUN Solaris 2.6 (SPARC), Java 1.3.1, Tomcat 3.2.1 (will be upgraded to 3.2.3 shortly), 3.2.3 and 4.0.3 (three different projects) Everything works fine until the firewall drops the open connections between apache and tomcat. It does so if the connection is idle for one hour, and we can't change this behaviour because it's not in our responsibility. The firewall drops the connection without any notify, so mod_jk does not close its pooled connections. Now the first request to a servlet after this happens will be stuck. This meens tomcat never receives the request, and apache does not respond anything to the browser. A second request is working most of the times (so the connections are reopened), but sometimes (allways with tomcat 3.2.1) only a restart of apache helps. Does anyone have this problem and maybe a solution to it? If not, do you think it will be a usefull feature to have a timeout for the connections in the way that mod_jk closes all open connection after a configurable time? Or would it be better to implement a keep-alive into the protocol? Thanks, Jan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
