I was able to resolve the problem. the executor was not mentioned which will close the connections/files that are open Navigate to "jboss-5.1.0.GA/server/ottserver/deploy/jbossweb.sar" and edit server.xml as mentioned below. Look for following xml snippet. <Connector port="9090" address="${jboss.bind.address}" maxThreads="250" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" emptySessionPath="true" protocol="HTTP/1.1" enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100" connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" /> Replace this snippet with below one. <Executor name="appThreadpool" namePrefix="activeThread-" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="3" maxIdleTime="30000" />     <Connector executor="appThreadpool" port="9090" address="${jboss.bind.address}"          maxThreads="150" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"          minSpareThreads="3" maxSpareThreads="20"          emptySessionPath="true" protocol="HTTP/1.1"          enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100"      connectionTimeout="120000" disableUploadTimeout="true" /> Look for following xml snippet. <Connector port="8009" address="${jboss.bind.address}" protocol="AJP/1.3"  emptySessionPath="true" enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" /> Replace this snippet with below one. <Connector executor="appThreadpool" port="8009" address="${jboss.bind.address}" protocol="AJP/1.3" emptySessionPath="true" enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" /> hope that helps. thanks Kiran -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/537892#537892] Start a new discussion in Performance Tuning at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
