While I can't help you out with why tomcat is dying, what you can do to help out the situation is use two or more machines to do some load balancing. This also helps you out if one of them goes out to lunch and you need to restart it. To do so look into mod_jk (I couldn't get JK2 to work for some reason) for Apache. It knows enough to only forward requests via AJP13 to live hosts, so if one of your Tomcat instances dies then it goes to the other one. Granted your users on the just dead tomcat loose their state information, but this is an easy fix to get you around your immediate problem. Also you could have a process that checks to see if tomcat is running and if not, restarts it. I start most things under Daemontools (http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html) which provides this service. Also you might want to look into if Jetty (which ships with the latest Cocoon) has the same problem you're seeing. If you need some pointers on this send me an email and I'll walk you through it. My instructions aren't polished enough to post to the list :) Chris --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
