I thought of that after I sent my previous message. > the OS won't log this, since it's considered to be an application error. Assuming the problem is the acceptCount value, then it's technically the app's fault for improperly initializing the socket listener. Nevertheless, it would make sense for the OS to log a neighborly message (perhaps optionally) along the lines of, "I rejected a connection attempt because of the acceptCount setting you told me to use." It would sure help with troubleshooting. As you pointed out, the app can't log errors it does not know about, so nothing is logged anywhere. What is impact on memory utilization if we increase the acceptCount value? There are 100 tomcat instances on the server. And would maxThreads have to be increased to accommodate the extra connections? -Eric Disclaimer : This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for intended recipients.
