my apologies, based on this exception (above), I decided to provide you
with the following from my tomee/conf/server.xml:
<Connector port="8080"
protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol"
maxThreads="150" connectionTimeout="20000"
acceptorThreadCount="2"
redirectPort="8443" socket.directBuffer="false"/>
I guess the answer may be the connectionTimeout="..." (above), but still
would like to know recommendations of others based on experience with web
application serving mobile clients. thanks.
AFAIK, the "connectionTimeout" above applies specifically to this :
- the client opens a TCP connection to the server
- but then the client does not send any request over that connection
(so the server waits and waits, until that timeout strikes).
This is a classic way of doing a DoS attack : many clients connect and don't send a
request (or do it very slowly), tying up server resources until the server is overwhelmed.
In some Connector configurations, this does not necessarily tie up a Thread (only a TCP
socket), but it does have the potential to tie up limited resources.
The value of 20000 above is in milliseconds, so after a connection is established, the
server will wait up to 20 seconds for a request to be received.
I would not expect nowadays that any client, on any type of connection, would take that
long to send a request on an established connection. So I would certainly not make it
larger, and you can probably reduce it significantly, and save resources.
