Maybe, maybe not. Did you monitor CPU and memory utilization, I/O load and I/O wait time on the server during one of these spells? I've seen a certain web browser get hold of some badly-written script or something, spend *minutes* blowing up to a huge size while running 100% of CPU the whole time with the UI completely unresponsive, then give all that memory back and continue as if nothing had happend. Maybe you've found a way to do something similar with Tomcat, but it takes 16 minutes to cycle. Just waiting until you think it's been long enough is not a very strong test. What's it doing while you wait? is a question you need to consider. -- Mark H. Wood, Lead System Programmer mw...@iupui.edu Friends don't let friends publish revisable-form documents.
