Our web application has a search feature that can be activated by pressing the F2 key in Internet Explorer, or by clicking a small (978 bytes) gif image file of a magnifying glass in our myapp/images directory.
This directory is populated with 45 gif image files, the largest being 144 KB, the smallest being 69 bytes, and the median being about 8 KB. Occasionally, this search icon does not display; I'll get a black box for several (10 - 15) seconds, then the image 'paints' in small spurts. Even rarer are cases where we will click upon an action that should bring up a new page, but after 60 seconds or so, we get the dreaded 'Page Not Found' (PNF) message. Whenever we get it, we have to disconnect and reconnect to the webapp; we do not reboot the PC or close Internet Explorer. We just go to GOOGLE or MSN, and when it has loaded, we go back to the webapp. . It seems that the faster the operator is, the more frequently the image issue arises; about 3 times a day. The PNF occurs about twice a week. There are no more than 6 users running the webapp when these all occur; this is occurring on a development system. Are there any diagnostic or logging activities in Tomcat that I can enable to try to catch the culprit? It does not appear to be a networking issue, as other connections to other systems or the internet appear unaffected. This is Tomcat 5.0.28 on AIX 5.2. Regards, Bob
