Yes, it starts out with a much smaller memory, around 10 to 15 MB or so, even after a few initial connections to Tomcat from one user session. > > BTW.: The mod_jk 1.1.20, downloaded from > > > http://mirrors.dedipower.com/ftp.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-connectors/jk/binaries/win32/jk-1.2.20/mod_jk-> > apache-2.0.58.so > > identifies itself as mod_jk/1.2.19, not as mod_jk/1.2.20 ! > > I didn't test (I'm rarely on Win), but I had a look at the binary: > > - it's the same as on the origin server (downloaded a minute ago) > - it has 1.2.20 as a version string inside and no 1.2.19 > - it's md5 checksum is: > I just downloaded the file (of the same name) from another mirror, and this time it is really version 1.2.20, looks like the other mirror was corrupted (same file name, old version). Anyway, I made another interesting observation for both mod_jk 1.2.10 and 1.2.20: When I hammer my website rapidly with requests, by clicking too quickly in my web browser on links within the same site, mod_jk eventually becomes unable to receive responses from Tomcat, causing Apache2 to come with standard Error 503 replies. I was using the workers.properties with this: # Define 1 real worker using ajp13 worker.list=ajp13 # Set properties for worker1 (ajp13) worker.ajp13.type=ajp13 worker.ajp13.host=localhost worker.ajp13.port=8009 worker.ajp13.connection_pool_timeout=600 worker.ajp13.connection_pool_minsize=10 worker.ajp13.connect_timeout=15000 worker.ajp13.prepost_timeout=10000 And only mod_jk.log had some error messages, first in increasing numbers something like this: ....

Tomcat is probably not started or is listening on the wrong port .... Only a server re-boot cleared up the connections (there were only 2 of them established). Is it possible that mod_jk can't cope with queueing too many rapidly incoming requests? Admittedly, this doesn't happen from normal users, but a malicious person would be able to bring down the web service this way. Are there preventitive settings for this scenario?
