Probably important:
===================
- 2x Xeon, 3 GB mem
- Linux 2.4.26
- Java 1.5.0_06-b05
- Apache Tomcat 5.5.15
- CATALINA_OPTS="\
-server \
-Djava.awt.headless=true \
-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 \
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m \
-Xms1024m -Xmx1024m"
- <Connector port="8009" protocol="AJP/1.3"
maxThreads="200" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="50"
backlog="20" connectionTimeout="10000"
enableLookups="true" redirectPort="8443" />
- mod_jk 1.2.15
- Apache Httpd 1.3.34
- 8 Tomcat vhosts
- 8 webapps
- each webapp runs on separate vhost
- each webapp is Apache Cocoon 2.1.7
- system load avarage: usually under 0.5
- http load: not more then 20-30 concurrent req
The pain: crashing Tomcat
======================
Everything works right until Tomcat suddenly crashes,
what happens almost every single day. Sometimes it crashes
with OOME / out of heap (heh, is 1GB not enought!?), but
somtimes NOTHING wrong is logged into the logs - it
just stops responding to requests (hangs).
When Tomcat stops responding to requests JK eats all
of 256 Apache HTTPd MaxClients so other httpd vhosts
stop responding also. Disaster!
Any ideas before abandoning Java technology? ;)
Default Tomcat logging facility seems to be useless to me.
j.u.l. logging.properties semantics looks like a programmers
joke made to users (!). And even with swallowOutput it logs
everything into catalina.out (?) I found none decent
log4j-tomcat-virtual-hosts-logging-manual in Tomcat docs
also. Is Tomcat a production ready reference j2se server
or just a "finish it yourself" proof of concept toy?
I've been crond-restarting Tomcat 4.1 on Java 1.4 every
night for more than a year, and now I have to restart
Tomcat 5.5.15 on Java 1.5 AND apache httpd also almost
every single day. From my -user point of view, Tomcat
doesn't change in a good direction. In fact in it is
probably changing in wrong direction - at least the
4.1.x logger element has been working 'out of the box'.
Come on! Am I the only one that has such problems with Tomcat?
