I am running a production server with Apache 1.3.14
and Tomcat 3.2.1. I have developed a
JSP-JavaBeans-Based WebMail that runs on this RH Linux
7.1 server.
While debuging I noticed that if I logout of the
webmail (click logout) I see the connection to the
imap server being closed. But somehow, after several
users accessing the site, I notice, using netstat -a
imap, there is a growning number of close_wait
sockets. Eventually I get a connection failure
exception if I try to login. That is because there are
no more sockets available to the server.
I read here and there that for some reason Tomcat is
not releasing those sockets. Does it have to do with
the possibility that some users just close the browser
instead of pressing logout?
When I stop and start Tomcat I notice that all the
close_wait sockets are released. Which makes me feel
it is a problem with my code/Tomcat's.
By any means how can I fix this problem. It is getting
irritating to repeatedly stop and start tomcat
whenever I get that exception.
With the site load growing I am affraid that the
server will crash every 5 minutes. Now I have to
restart every other day.
Thanks in advance.
