Hi, We have one apache and two tomcats running on separate machines in production. There is a firewall between apache and tomcat servers. Sticky session is enabled for load balancing. Load balancing between these tomcat is happening properly, however fail-over has problem. When we shutdown one tomcat, the other tomcat was getting hung with in two minutes. The number of users on tomcat1 were around 400 and almost equal number of users on tomcat2 (load was around 700 requests per min). When we took thread dump of second tomcat, all AJP connectors threads (around 650) were stuck with the following stack trace. Could you help me to solve this problem? Do you think "connectionTimeout=-1" in server.xml causing this problem? at java.net.SocketInputStream.socketRead0(Native Method) at java.net.SocketInputStream.read(SocketInputStream.java:129) at java.io.BufferedInputStream.fill(BufferedInputStream.java:183) at java.io.BufferedInputStream.read1(BufferedInputStream.java:222) at java.io.BufferedInputStream.read(BufferedInputStream.java:277) - locked <0x7e19ebe8> (a java.io.BufferedInputStream) at org.apache.jk.common.ChannelSocket.read(ChannelSocket.java:601) at org.apache.jk.common.ChannelSocket.receive(ChannelSocket.java:538) at org.apache.jk.common.ChannelSocket.processConnection(ChannelSocket.java:666) at org.apache.jk.common.SocketConnection.runIt(ChannelSocket.java:871) at org.apache.tomcat.util.threads.ThreadPool$ControlRunnable.run(ThreadPool.java:684) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:534) Setup: OS - SolarisOS, Apache/1.3.33 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.8.22 OpenSSL/0.9.7e mod_jk - 1.2.14 jdk - 1.4.2_03 Tomcat - 5.5.8 workers.properties: --------------------------- workers.tomcat_home=/opt/tomcat ps=/ worker.list=tomcat1, tomcat2, loadbalancer, jkstatus worker.tomcat1.port=8099 worker.tomcat1.host=xxxx worker.tomcat1.type=ajp13 worker.tomcat1.lbfactor=1 worker.tomcat1.socket_keepalive=1 worker.tomcat1.socket_timeout=15 worker.tomcat1.recycle_timeout=60 worker.tomcat1.retries=3 worker.tomcat2.port=9009 worker.tomcat2.host=yyyy worker.tomcat2.type=ajp13 worker.tomcat2.lbfactor=1 worker.tomcat2.socket_keepalive=1 worker.tomcat2.socket_timeout=15 worker.tomcat2.recycle_timeout=60 worker.tomcat2.retries=3 worker.loadbalancer.type=lb worker.loadbalancer.balanced_workers=tomcat1, tomcat2 worker.loadbalancer.sticky_session=true worker.jkstatus.type=status
