I am having a problem with tomcat opening up up a number of connections to an oracle server that never get closed. This causes the number of open connections to build up over time and, eventually, causes the oracle server to use all of its swap. Restarting tomcat clers this up.
I think there is a problem with some jsp's opening connections and then not closig them but the developers claim (surprise) their code is clean. The explanation they give is: "The increase in number of connections beyond the âCACHE_MAX_SIZEâ setting in the app1.properties file is due to the private labeled sites. For each virtual host (private labeled site), there will be a separate JVM running the Tomcat web server space. For each of these JVMs, there will be a separate database connection cache pool to serve the user requests. This is the designed functionality of a web server that will support virtual hosts." I don't know tomcat near as well as I do Apache but this sounds like someone is blowing smoke. If I run ps on the server it looks to me like there is only one instance and if I restart tomcat, _all_ virtual hosts are restarted. As near as I can tell from RTFM, tomcat fully supports named based virtual domains since about 3.2 or so. I am using: Redhat Linux 7.2 Kernel: 2.4.7-10 Apache: 1.3.22 Tomcat: 4.1.24 mod_jk: 1.2.4 I don't care who is right or wrong but I do want to clear up this problem. Any ideas? If you need any more information, just ask. -- Stephen Carville UNIX and Network Administrator DPSI 310-342-3602 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Most people prefer believing their leaders are just and fair even in the face of contrary evidence. Perhaps this is because, once a man acknowledges that the government he lives under is corrupt and cares nothing for justice or fairness, that man also has to choose what he will do about it. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
