Hi,
I had a (long) weekend without computers. But I still found one and read
the mail once - and your report is very serious and important ( and not
easy to fix ). You have (at least ) my full attention. The read
timeout will be checked in soon - but the general problem ( with a servlet
hanging a thread ) is very hard to resolve (or I don't know any good
solution ).
We could stop setting an upper limit on the thread count ( we still have
the OS upper limit ), and we could also use the (dangerous,
deprecated) suspend/terminate on the thread that is taking too much time.
Have you tried any fix ? The timeout will not resolve the "bursts" ( and
high-loaded servers ) - unless it is very short.
BTW, this is not a tomcat-specific problem ( I would guess Apache does
have the same issue - and we need to find how they deal with that ).
