Hi,

I'm using mod_jk 2.2.27 to connect via AJP to a JBoss backend. The
problem is that a reporting application takes a couple of minutes to
run a report but mod_jk seems to be closing the connection to the
back-end and the user receives a 502 Bad Gateway error. 10 seconds
after the request is made, I see the following in the mod_jk logs.:-

The worker.properties file has only the following timeouts configured:-

worker.tomcat1.connect_timeout=10000
worker.tomcat1.prepost_timeout=10000
worker.tomcat1.socket_keepalive=true
worker.tomcat1.socket_timeout=10
worker.tomcat1.connection_pool_timeout=600

Which timeout is likely to be responsible for closing this connection?

The socket timeout.

I have run a network trace between the web and app servers and it
shows there's no AJP traffic at all between them whilst the report is
being generated and then the connection being closed after 10 seconds,
would socket_timeout close the connection in that case? I don't see
any errors about failing cping/cpongs.

Recent versions of mod_jk allow a very fine-grained response timeout configuration, so that you can e.g. set a general response timeout to 20 seconds and a longer timeout like 60 seconds for special URLs you expect to take longer like report generation.

The cases where you would need short timeouts are the cping/cpong and during connection setup. For the latter there is now also a special timeout, so that you can actually drop the socket timeout.

Have a look at:

http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/generic_howto/timeouts.html

which tries to describe the possible timepouts and their implications in great length.

Rainer
