To little info to say something concrete, but maybe there is a memory leak in your app which manifests over days and causes slowness.
Best way to prove - take some heapdumps of monitor the heap using tools like JConsole / PSI Probe when your app becomes sluggish (before you restart). Maybe there are long and frequent GC pauses which go in vain as there is no memory to collect. Also, take some thread dumps when this happens again to see what they are actually waiting on. You can post the info from heap monitoring and thread dumps here if you need help analyzing them. Hope this helps. -- Anurag Kapur Twitter: @anuragkapur <http://www.twitter.com/anuragkapur> AboutMe: http://www.anuragkapur.com *Make a difference, donate for a wonderful cause..* British 10k Page: http://www.justgiving.com/Anurag-Kapur-B10k-2012 On Tue, Jul 10, 2012 at 6:45 PM, Sri Kon <rallav...@gmail.com> wrote: > e) running on Tomcat 7.0.23.
