I was facing a problem with similar symptoms - Tomcat 7 (on centos 5, 64 bit, 12 GB RAM) was crashing without anything being logged in catalina.out In case of JVM crash, there is supposed to be some hs_err_pid.log file but that was also not getting generated. Neither were there any OutOfMemory messages in /var/log/messages
Turns out that my code was going into an infinite loop because I was using Calendar.before(Date) and this method (from java.util.calandar) stupidly takes any object as a parameter but returns false if the passed object is anything other than and instance of Calendar. Sun knows about this, but in their infinite wisdom had closed 2 java bugs related to this without resolving anything !! http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4682471 http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4738710 - just my 2 bits -- View this message in context: http://tomcat.10.n6.nabble.com/Tomcat-dies-suddenly-tp2136492p4980853.html Sent from the Tomcat - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
