I wonder whether it is possible to get some numbers in Access Log to match with lsof output. So to get a clue what kinds of requests result in the leak. a) normal dynamic requests b) comet or asynchronous requests c) requests for static files that are served via sendfile Maybe there are timeouts, or connections closed at client's side. It should be easy to exclude sendfile: a) When sendfile is used it is visible in access log, because a static file is requested and file size that is logged as 0 (until 7.0.24). See https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52316 b) If it easy to turn it off, by setting useSendfile="false" on a Connector. > No OOM issues, no errors in log files, until the eventual SocketException > when ulimit is reached: I wonder whether there were some thread deaths. If that happens the ThreadGroup.uncaughtException() method will print the stacktrace directly into System.err. That is it will be written to catalina.out file (and it wouldn't be written to catalina.log).
