Tomcat's threads... please help

[Vincent Lambert]

I am using Tomcat 4.0.3 with j2sdk1.4.0 behind apache 1.3 with an warp
connector (Sun Cobalt Raq4 kernel 2.2.16).
 
    <Connector
className="org.apache.catalina.connector.warp.WarpConnector"
     port="8008" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="10"
     enableLookups="true"
     acceptCount="10" debug="0"/>
 
    <Engine className="org.apache.catalina.connector.warp.WarpEngine"
     name="Apache" debug="0">
 
      <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
              prefix="apache_log." suffix=".log"
              timestamp="true"/>
 
      <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.MemoryRealm" />

      <Host name="www.host.com">
            <Context path=""
                     docBase="/home/sites/www.host.com/web" />
            <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
                    prefix="host.com." suffix=".log"
                    timestamp="true" />
      </Host>
    ...
 
There is 10 hosts declared with this connector.
Each one is declared in httpd.conf within a virtualhost
 
<VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx>
ServerName www.host.com
ServerAdmin site12
DocumentRoot /home/sites/site12/web
WebAppConnection warphost warp localhost:8008
WebAppDeploy host warphost /
</VirtualHost>
 
 
The number on java threads grown until there is no more ressources on
the server.
The last time I checked, there was 140 java threads running at the same
time each one with it's own PID.
 
I don't undurstand why there is somy many java threads. I have fixed the
maxProcessors to 10, so I should have 10 threads running.
 
 
 
Thanks for helping.
