Hi.

in server.xml :
<!-- Define an AJP 1.3 Connector on port 8009 -->
<Connector port="8009" protocol="AJP/1.3"
maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25"
connectionTimeout="5000" backlog="100"
enableLookups="false"
redirectPort="8443" />
Note that there is no "maxSpareThreads" attribute, which according to the documentation
would result in a default value of 50.
Question :
With the above settings for the AJP connector, I run some stress test using the Apache
"ab" program to access a Tomcat application, with a concurrency of 100 simultaneous requests.
After the test finishes, the Tomcat Manager's server status shows the situation below,
with 98 threads alive.
There is only this one test application installed, and after the test above there are no
more accesses to Tomcat.
Intuitively, I would expect that after some time, the number of live threads would be
decreasing back to the minSpareThreads value, but that does not seem to be happening.
The number of threads stays at the same level of about 100, apparently forever (at least
several hours by now).
Is this normal ?
How does Tomcat (or the AJP Connector) manage these threads ?
Should idle ones not disappear after a while ?
(Accessorily, the display below shows "Min spare threads: 0" and "Max spare threads: 0",
which does not match the Connector setting)
Tomcat Manager output :
