Problems with a Java-Application running under Resin 2.1.6

Hi, right now i am at a loss. our departement has been developed a java-application (which is connecting to another database-server [oracle 9i] outside the DMZ) under the following premises: - Suse Linux 6.4 - Unify ServletExec (jsp-engine) - jdk 1.3.0 our production server is working in our DMZ and got the following infrastructure: - Sun Solaris 5.8 - Apache 1.3.27 (SSL) - Resin 2.1.6 - jdk 1.3.1_03b so, we brought the application from the development-server to our production-server. after starting Resin it is possible to work for round about one minute with this application, after this timelimit we do not get an response. after restarting Resin the problem is gone (but unfortunately only for one minute =8-( ). we got no problem with the database connection or with any firewalls (we already checked this). Funny, because if we connect to the application either with Resin as standalone or with Apache(SSL)+Tomcat the application is working fine. Anyone know what is causing this to happen? Markus

We're starting to adopt httpunit on all projects more heavily to help stress test and replicate these seemingly tough-to-diagnose problems. That's generally been most people's experience: most of the threading/deadlock issues have been application code. You need to be able to get and understand thread dumps. However, Resin does have bugs, so sometimes the deadlock is Resin's fault. You really need a thread dump to have any idea of where the cause is. So if you get a thread dump that looks like it's a Resin-caused deadlock, send it to one of the support email addresses. -- Scott
