Hi,
We're experiencing Tomcat crashes during stresstesting of a webapplication.
Situation: Tomcat runs as a Windows service. During stresstests the Tomcat-services suddenly
ends "unexpectedly". The Windows eventlog logs states something like: "...service ended unexpectedly..."
The problem is not easily or consistently reproducable...
When I look at all the logs of Tomcat and of our webapplication, no mention of an exception
or error or crash whatsoever !(?) (They all just stop abruptly)
First I thought it was an OutOfMemoryError problem. I forced an OutOfMemoryError myself by
limiting the memory of the JVM of Tomcat severely. But then I could see loggings of an OutOfMemoryError
in the Tomcat stderr-log, which is not what I expected because I didn't expect any loggings
of a crash at all...
The problem only *seems* to occur when the servermachine is completely left alone (not logged
in or locked) Additionally, it usually occurs after between 30-70 minutes or so. When I
keep monitoring the machine while the same tests are running the crash doesn't seem to occur
?! Could it be a power-saving issue, like e.g. with the network-adaptor ? Then I would not
expect a crash, but a stacktrace ?
I tried adding a try-catch(Throwable) around a method where everything starts (the process
method of my Struts ActionServlet). I've been trying to reproduce the problem since, but as
I mentioned, it's not consistently reproducable...
I've searched the net trying to find related problems, or a JVM problem of some kind with
this version, haven't been successful though... If it is a problem with bad memory, I would
expect to see different behaviour, like more random crashes, not only of the Tomcat service...
Environment: Tomcat 4.1.29, JDK 1.4.2_03, Windows 2000ProSP4, bi-processor Xeon machine.
Any help/advice/ideas is really welcome and appreciated !
Kind regards,
David
