QUESTION Is anyone aware of any problems using the apr/native connector + websockets in Tomcat 7.0.42?
BACKGROUND We are trying to see how many concurrent websocket connections Tomcat will handle running on Windows Server. We wrote a multi-threaded java console app that spins up a thread-per simulated websocket client. In each thread, we are using a separate Ning websocket client. Unfortunately, we can't connect more than a few connections before we start getting websocket errors. If we change the connector to use NIO, the sporadic connection errors seem to go away, but then we find that after about 200 connections, the communication seems to hang. This happens if all connections are made from a single test client instance or spread across multiple client instances. We're trying to determine where the problem lies and if it's in our use of Ning in a multi-threaded client app, Tomcat connector configuration, use of Tomcat websockets on Windows or something else. If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it. If you need additional information, please don't hesitate to ask.
