A little bit more observation. I activated the Tomcat window and hit "Enter" several times, the hanging TestProvider service immediately returned and so did my web service. It seems that the Web Services have lost focus somehow and need to be reactivated sometimes. -Chengmin -----Original Message----- From: Yong Chen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2001 2:32 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: Apache Soap 2.2 Web Service stops responding after continuous ly r unning for 2 weeks I actually had similar experience when running Apache Soap server. I'm running it on Resin 2.0.1. I never tried to run the Apache Soap server for weeks, normally only minutes or hours. Sometimes when I run client (such as the ServiceManagerClient list/deploy/undeploy requests), the client just hangs, I have to Ctrl+C client and server to restart. I have seen it several times. regards, Yong Chen -----Original Message----- From: Ding, Chengmin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2001 11:03 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Apache Soap 2.2 Web Service stops responding after continuously r unning for 2 weeks Hi,All, Today we found out our Web Service stopped responding after successfully running for 2 weeks. No error message was displayed in the tomcat console or any log files. The VB client just returns ErrorNumber: 5400 ErrorDescription: Application or Object defined Error Then we ran the addressbook sample and mime sample, both worked fine. But when we ran the testProvider sample, we encountered the same problem-- The service never returned and the java client just hang there. We want to know whether anyone has encountered a similar problem after running the webservice for several weeks? Is it a rule of thumb to always restart the web service every couple of weeks? (just like NT :)) BTW, can we run the Apache Web Service without a user logon? Now we have to lock the Server for Apache Soap/tomcat to run. We are using Tomcat 3.3 and Windows 2000 Server. Thanks in advance. -Chengmin
