[jboss-user] [Performance Tuning] - Re: GC does not appear to be running

[PeterJ]

GC has nothing whatsoever to do with the HTTP threads - those are all handle by JBoss Web.

You never said which version of JBoss AS you are using, but the 4.2.x and 5.0 version use a JBoss Web based on Tomcat 6. If you look at the Tomcat 6 documentation you will notice that the various thread management settings (such as the unused thread timeout) are no longer documented. A perusal of the source code shows that those settings are still captured from server.xml, but the settings are never used. The end result is what you see - once HTTP threads have been allocated they seem to hang around forever.
