You can always check the source code: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/tc6.0.x/tags/TOMCAT_6_0_20/java/org/apache/catalina/valves/AccessLogValve.java > The reason I ask is that we have some users who are complaining that > certain requests are taking a long time (up to a minute).

Technically speaking, the valve reports the amount of time spent executing everything "underneath" the valve itself. This may include other valves, your webapp's filters, and finally your webapp's servlet (or maybe DefaultServlet or whatever). The bytes are not guaranteed to have arrived at the client by the time the valve computes the elapsed time. If a webapp really wants to, it can launch a thread and continue to send data to the response's output stream, but that will likely cause an error somewhere down the line, as Tomcat will flush and close the output stream shortly after it regains control. The long response times experienced by your clients are more likely to be due to slow or unreliable networks than anything else: you have the data to prove that it's not your webapp. If you have the capability, try benchmarking your webapp from outside your own network. That will allow you to measure the response time that the client experiences. Tools such as JMeter are good for this type of sampling. Hope that helps, - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkpQsOIACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PDRsQCcC6beKd95KWkGBIwWYsUYwlrQ 0XYAnjN/g83zPCZpVjctio53Mfv/JxBm =6NKS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
