I just got the following message in my catalina.out log file INFO: Maximum number of threads (150) created for connector with address ... and port ...
This leads me to believe that traffic is heavy and I should increase the maxThreads value on the ajp connector. I increased it and logged into jconsole to view the other properties on my ajp connector and noticed properties for both maxSpareThreads and minSpareThreads. These look like they would be good to set too but when I try to set them, I get the following in my log at startup Jan 18, 2011 9:43:35 AM org.apache.catalina.startup.SetAllPropertiesRule begin WARNING: [SetAllPropertiesRule]{Server/Service/Connector} Setting property 'minSPareThreads' to '...' did not find a matching property. Jan 18, 2011 9:43:35 AM org.apache.catalina.startup.SetAllPropertiesRule begin WARNING: [SetAllPropertiesRule]{Server/Service/Connector} Setting property 'maxSpareThreads' to '...' did not find a matching property. I checked the apache documentation online ( http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/ajp.html) and they don't list these properties...which leads me to two questions. 1) why do they show up in jconsole if they are invalid properties? 2) were the properties renamed or was the functionality of these two properties rolled into some other property? -- Curtis Garman
