I have developed a servlet that receives request by overiding httpServlet#service() and sends a response. The traffic back an forth is a small XML formatted block ( < 1K ). To test my servlet, I have a simple java application that formats requests and sends them to the Servlet through URL Connection. The connection is directly through Tomcat and not apache. Now if I run several iterations 20K +, I will get an occasional exception on the client side stating "Find not found" where the file specification is the URL I use to attach to my Servlet. i.e. http://localhost:8080/myServlet. I also have a custom URL mapping in my web.xml to call my servlet directly (not through invoker). There are no errors in my Tomcat log files. During the test if I run netstat -a . I see several connections in the Fin_Wait2 state. (700+ My unit test does not test for concurrency and only issues sequential requests. I have seen notes on this through Apache with a Fin_Wait2 issue with Apache Server. It states that this is just as much an operating system problem as it is the Web Server. The Web Server has a work around and I was wondering if this problem has shown up on anyone else's Tomcat Configuration and what they might of done about it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
