Hello Martin, The fact is our application is the only one running under tomcat. However, again, it runs fine absolutely everywhere else. As for the load balancer, the problem is that the client specifically paid for this feature and by shutting it off we will have to admit failure and refund the money. So, this is kind of an option that the administration will not agree with, as you can probably imagine.
To be honest, I too think that this is a problem with the load balancer, but I have no way to prove it. Is there something we need to do for the load balancer to work properly? More importantly, is there a way to determine if in fact the load balancer is causing the problem? My lack of knowledge of Tomcat is one thing, but I have absolutely no knowledge of how a load balancer works at all. The most interesting bit, the load balancer is active, but only on one machine ... meaning, it isn't actually balancing anything. However, the second installation that also went down does not have load balancing running on it. This doesn't help my argument with the administration that this is truly a load balancing issue. Please keep in mind that we have dozens of other installations running without any problems. Thanks for the response, it is greatly appreciated.
