User development, A new message was posted in the thread "HTTP threads waiting on JIOEndpoint$Worker.await": http://community.jboss.org/message/530090#530090 Author : Jason Smith Profile : http://community.jboss.org/people/jsmith085 Message: -------------------------------------------------------------- *I am doing some load testing using a http playback tool and simulating 150 users, with 40 second think times between transactions.  I'm on Red Hat Enterprise 5.2 on Wintel, on VMWare !*   *My load test response times have become worse and worse as I've added the last 50 or so users and I'm curious about the following.*   *A thread dump of one of our running JBoss AS 5.1 app server shows large numbers of our HTTP connector threads WAITING as follows:*   *Thread: http-0.0.0.0-8180-1* : priority:5, demon:true, threadId:129, threadState:WAITING *    * *Is this normal/expected? *   *In a different post elsewhere I saw what appeared to be the code for the await method of the JIOEndpoint$Worker class and it appeared to be trying to obtain a socket.  This led to other post talking about file descriptors (lack thereof) potentially being an issue....how can I definitely confirm if they are an issue?*   *If threads waiting in this method is not normal then what other causes could account for it?* -------------------------------------------------------------- To reply to this message visit the message page: http://community.jboss.org/message/530090#530090
