Okay, so you're using the standard HTTP connector. Is APR involved? I
notice that your connectionTimeout is 2 minutes: is there a reason to
increase that timeout from the default 1 minute? 1 minute is a long time
to wait around for the client to simply make a request.

So... what happens if you take-out the instrumentation? Does the
exception still occur?

Did you check this?

Interesting: you have a home-grown client application. I wonder if the
client application isn't working properly. For instance, if the client
sends a Content-Length but then doesn't send enough bytes, Tomcat will
wait for a long time and then throw a SocketTimeoutException. It's
possible this is happening in this case. If the client doesn't close the
output stream (from the client to the server) then the server might wait
forever (until it times out) for the remaining data. Again, check that
your client is sane.

Ok. You might want to modify the code so that you repeatedly read and
then report the maximum number of bytes read before the pipe stalls.
Logging the Content-Length from the request might also prove useful.

I would encourage you to use a well-known client such as "wget" to check
the server behavior: if wget still has problems, then you know that a
server-side solution is necessary. If wget works with no problems,
you're client app is probably broken.

Try setting that to 10 seconds (10000) and seeing if the client/server
communication fails after 10 seconds. Then, set it to 120 seconds
(120000) and see if the same error takes 2 minutes. If so, that setting
is correct, although it won't help you: it will just set the amount of
time necessary before the server gives up on your client.

Again, I'd really recommend that you check into your client app code so
make sure it's following the rules.
