Can you give me the estimated date of end of support  for TomCat 6 and 7.

Thank you,

That assumption rarely holds. It is usually a sub-set of requests within an 
application that are slow and when you do have a problem, everything is slow.

The best / quickest (and I would say simplest) way to get the correct answer is 
as follows:

1. ps -eLf (to show per thread results)
2. Find the thread using all the CPU
3. Take a thread dump of your Tomcat process 4. Match the LWP ID (base 10) from 
the ps output with the nid field (base 16) in the thread dump to find a) the 
offending thread and b) exactly what it is doing.

There may be slight variations in commands and output format bewteen OS and JVM 
vendors but you get the idea.

Mark
