Going back to David's original note, you wrote, " We have a customer who is experiencing a random, 21 second pause when using out Tomcat based application server. We believe this may be during a TCP connect and timeout. Logging indicates the pause happens before the request makes it to our back end."
Can you clarify what you mean by the "back end" here? Since you say it's a pause "when using" Tomcat, I can't tell if you're saying Tomcat IS the backend, or instead if the request hangs WHILE running in Tomcat but doesn't reach some other "backend" that the Tomcat-based app should then talk to. You did refer in a later note to a "backend agent log", so I'm inclined to think it's the latter. In that case, it seems you are wondering (in one note) whether the request might be hung up in the connector (getting TO Tomcat). But do you know for sure whether the request is actually running IN Tomcat? You could use any of various JVM or Tomcat monitoring tools to know a) if the request reaches Tomcat, b) if it is hanging while running there, and then c) just WHAT the request is hanging and waiting for (which could well be that "other backend" the app needs to talk to). But before elaborating on approaches, I wanted to ask what you may or may not know in regard to the above, first. :-) /charlie --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
