Hi, I'm running tomcat 6.0.18 with java 1.6.0_13 on a linux box. The only webapp deployed is Sun OpenSSO (http://www.opensso.org) built from source (20090930). Sometimes a tomcat thread hangs hup while serving a POST request (/UI/Login): monitoring tomcat status I see the processing time grows and the thread never ends. When this happens I am not able to shutdown tomcat with shutdown.sh and I need to kill -9 the java process. I think it is not a problem of memory exausted because if I run "top" the memory usage by java process is ok (a few hundreds MB despite CATALINA_OPTS="-Xmx6048M") but the cpu usage is 100%. Is there a way to kill a single thread in tomcat whitout restarting it? Is there a way to limit the max execution time for a single thread/request?
thanks, ivan -- ciao, ivan
