Sumit,

Look at the design of the app. Is each session doing a query every 30 seconds? Also is the database on the same server?

I had an app that was originally designed to be for a few users that each session hit the database. Due to the amount of processing of the data it had a snowball effect that after more than a few users connected the system began to fall behind and the system came to a crawl. Since my query was the same for all users, I was able to spawn a thread to do a query every few minutes and cache the results, then each session grabbed a copy of the cached data from memory.

I would also have to agree that it appears to be an application issue, especially after experiencing it myself. Or more accurately doing it to myself.

There is an application deployed that refreshes after every 30 seconds.
After every 30 seconds, it requeries database and fetches the data. This
was a design requirement for this application. Generally large numbers
of sessions of this application are running (450-500).

i think its more to application problem instead of tomcat problem. Is
there
any application hosted inside tomcat that get infinite loop or use a
kind of
loop checking something that utilize the thread fully ? try solving that
with the application developer

Hello,



We are using tomcat 5.0.25 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux server. There
two
applications in webapps. We are facing an issue from around 3-4 months
where the CPU utilization by java process (tomcat) goes quite high:
around 400% in every 4-5 days. The application gets very slow and
tomcat
needs to be restarted for normal operation. The output of top command
is
as below-

Here is the status of active threads-

This was status at certain instant of time. After 5 hours from this
instant, the utilization reached to 400% and also there were many
threads which were using almost 150% of CPU time.



The system configuration is -



[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# wget --quiet -O - --user admin --password nimda
http://localhost:8080/manager/serverinfo

OK - Server info

Tomcat Version: Apache Tomcat/5.0.25

OS Name: Linux

OS Version: 2.6.9-42.0.2.ELsmp

OS Architecture: i386

JVM Version: 1.4.2_12-b03

JVM Vendor: Sun Microsystems Inc.



Please can any one tell me possible cause for this issue? This issue
has
become very critical and needs to be fixed out soon.
