The silence you experienced is people being dumbfounded that you're running Tomcat 3 (versions up to and including 5.0 are now no longer supported) and AJP12. Tomcat 3 is ancient.

If the application hasn't changed but things were previously stable, and the load has increased, then the thing that has changed is likely to lead you to the cause. > Other threads, such as timer-threads and file-listener threads, are running > normally.

Keeping up to date with releases is not essential, but you should stay reasonably current if you are able. p > Thanks in advance! > > Marko Krejic > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
