I am running a Tomcat server on Windows Server 2003 RC2 over HTTPS (443). T=
he server has been running smoothly for many months with 100s of thousands =
of daily transactions.
Yesterday my networks team modified the firewall rules to permit traffic on=
port 80, it could be a coincidence but after this we had 8 errors calling =
Oracle Procedures on a separate Unix based Oracle DB server and 2 errors co=
nnecting to a remote API. These errors were unspecific and we believe they =
were due to network timeouts / dropped packets, as a last resort we restart=
ed the Tomcat server and have not seen any errors since. The only reference=
to port 80 in the Tomcat config is (server.xml)...
<Connector executor=3D"tomcatThreadPool"
port=3D"80" protocol=3D"HTTP/1.1"
connectionTimeout=3D"20000"
redirectPort=3D"443" />
I am not a Tomcat expert and don't fully understand Tomcats Thread Pooling =
but could this be in any way related to our errors observed before the rest=
art?
Thanks for your help in advance.
