Hello, We are using jboss as container for a high volume webservice engine platform. We use http connector for request to come into the jboss. All our transactoins are very shortlived on average less than a second. Noticed couple of times that current busy thread cont just incrementally goes up and server becomes unresponsive when it reaches max threads. However while this happened i verified that there is no service that is slow responding or anything of that sort. The thread count just incrementally went up through the day. I noticed thread count stats for the day through our monitoring solution we have. What could cause the threads not to clear from jboss? Jboss version: 4.0.4 JVM: 1.4.2 View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4105238#...
