Hi, I'm using Apache Bench (ab) to send 1,000 requests with a concurrency of 500 to a simple servlet on Tomcat trunk (revision 992708, 2010-09-03) which uses request.startAsync() and Executors.newFixedThreadPool(10) to do the work and return a few bytes of response and asyncContext.complete().

What I'm noticing is that every once in a while there is an errant request that takes up to 10 seconds, while the average is around half a second. I've reproduced this on both Oracle and IBM JVMs. I've looked at verbosegc and see no anomalies in pause times or heap usage. I've taken javadumps and I don't see any thread that is obviously "stuck" anywhere. Most importantly, if I compare this to a servlet that writes the same bytes but synchronously (i.e. a "classic" servlet service() method), then I don't see this aberration.

I can see these long requests in my access log by changing org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve to "%h %l %u %t "%r" %s %b %D", e.g.:

127.0.0.1 - - [04/Sep/2010:18:46:20 -0700] "GET /myapp/ HTTP/1.0" 500 207 10986 127.0.0.1 - - [04/Sep/2010:18:46:22 -0700] "GET /myapp/ HTTP/1.0" 500 207 10428 127.0.0.1 - - [04/Sep/2010:18:46:22 -0700] "GET /myapp/ HTTP/1.0" 500 207 10347

My question is: how do I debug these 500 errors?
Thanks.
