This could have gone in networking. Tomcat question.

Post #130,585 by mmoffitt 12/13/03 4:30:53 PM Reply	This could have gone in networking. Tomcat question. We hired a vendor to do a jsp application for us (long story) and I can't figure something out. I put the box it's in behind our firewall and it works just fine (or, I should say, as fine as it can given the collosal abortion that it is). But when I put that box in the dmz behind a PIX firewall, I get jvm crashes after only a few minutes of using the thing. I've googled, but can't find anybody who has had problems with tomcat behind a PIX firewall. I'll have to post back the PIX firewall model because I don't remember it, but we've tried tomcat 4.1.24 (what it was developed with), 4.1.27 and 4.1.29. We've tried running Apache 2.0.40, 2.0.44 and 2.0.48 as well as 1.34. Nothing works. The thing runs fine on a lan, but put in the dmz and it will run from anywhere from 2 to 10 minutes. Anybody see anything like this before? bcnu, Mikem Java, Junk. Both start with a "J", both have four letters. Coincidence? I think not.

The reason for the crash could be retrying connections on a closed port that run the app out of resources. thanx, bill "We must face the fact that there is not a single country in the world that measures up to the lofty moral and social standards that are the hallmark of the U.S.A.: even Canada is delinquent and deserves a whiff of grape.

The goobers who wrote it are working on their connection pooling code - wrote a short perl script that just logs in/logs out, that brought tomcat down - as well as getting to the point where db2 refuses additional connections. So, we're running out of file descriptors (another issue w/app code) and db2 connections. Thanks for the help. bcnu, Mikem Java, Junk. Both start with a "J", both have four letters. Coincidence?
