Has anyone seen a problem similar to the following:
We use OpenSTA to generate varying degrees of load to test our application j2ee app using
JBoss/Hibernate/MSSQL.
At low levels (75 users generating approx 5000 requests/minute) the tests complete without
issue. However, when we try and ramp up the test to more modest levels (150 users
generating approx 10,000 requests/minute) our test fails. Most (over 99%) of all the
calls are completed just fine, however on about 25 random Servlet requests (all POSTS),
the parameters are null.
Checking our test we noted that OpenSTA sent each of the incorrect requests with the
correct parameters. Also, using a packet sniffer on the webserver machine, we verified
that the webserver received all the packets containing these parameters. However the
application fails to properly process these requests since it thinks the parameters
weren't submitted. We have debug code in place which logs a message once a servlet
begins processing the request and can show all the parameters it received. For these
cases, no parameters are there.
I'm guessing this is a load related item but being a JBoss novice I'm not sure
where to really look.
We thought the problem might be related to the configuration of the HTTP connector and
have played around with the acceptCount (varied from 100 to 500) and bufferSize (from
default 2048 to 102400) parameters, but these didn't seem to make much of a
difference. Also, we tried setting the maxKeepAliveRequests to -1 with the thought this
was the issue, but alas to no avail.
The machine we are running is averaging 44% CPU utilization during the 150 user test and
we have plenty of memory available (1.4 GB heap - avg 500 MB free during the test run).
Also, using the same hardware we are able to test the previous version of our product
using BEA Weblogic Server 7.0 (SP5) up to around 250 of these virtual users. Based on
this, we know the system should be able to handle more than load than it currently can.
I'd be more than happy to deliver greater detail about specific configuration
settings, just let me know.
Thanks in advance for you help.
