Hello Chris,

Siebel Team made some changes on their side, and we are able to see the "timed 
out error" on Siebel logs when Siebel is posting data to Tomcat. 

The flow is: Siebel post data to Servlet --> Servlet processes the data..
We observe that Siebel application waits for 2 minutes and then gets a timeout 
while posting data to Tomcat. The request never reaches Tomcat (as seen from 
the localhost log files). If Siebel sends 50 transactions, then only 30-40 
reaches Tomcat Servlet.
At a later point of time, if the Siebel is trying again, then the data is 
getting posted successfully. 

<Connector className="org.apache.catalina.connector.http.HttpConnector"
               port="8080" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75"
               enableLookups="true" redirectPort="8443"
               acceptCount="10" debug="0" connectionTimeout="60000"/>
 
        Timeout at Servlet level is defined as
                int requestTimeout = 180000;

We are trying to figure out whether the problem is at Tomcat side or Siebel 
side or in between. The ping from Siebel to Tomcat server is fine, so we think 
that network is fine. Also the network team informed that the packets are not 
getting lost. 

There are more than 20 servlets deployed in the tomcat and there are around 
10-12 requests (for all the servlets) coming to Tomcat in a minute.
I even increased the maxProcessors from 75 to 150 and acceptCount from 10 to 
20, but the behavior doesn't change. 
The architecture of Siebel is that it posts all the request at one point of 
time - ie at one instance. 

Please do inform if anybody has seen such behavior and how they resolved the 
problem. How do I find out that this is not a Tomcat issue. 

Thanks
Mrinmoy

Sounds like this isn't a Tomcat problem. If Tomcat isn't getting the
request, it certainly can't fail!

I would try to find out what that error meant to Siebel. It's clearly
interfering with its ability to send the XML message to Tomcat. The
"invalid parameter" (httpResponse) is unlikely to have come from Tomcat
since Tomcat never handled the request.
