Hi, I updated my application to JBoss 4.2.0 and some clients (machine dependent) consume too many connections or more probably - do not release used socket connections. I configured the connection pool on the server to 300 and it didn't help (which made me suspect its about not releasing the connections and not about consuming too much), and the strange thing is that it doesn't happen on all machines (same OS, don't know what else should I check). the configuration I tried to change (according to documentation is: <mbean code="org.jboss.remoting.transport.Connector" | name="jboss.remoting:service=Connector,transport=socket" | display-name="Socket transport Connector"> | | <!-- Can either just specify the InvokerLocator attribute and not the invoker element in the --> | <!-- Configuration attribute, or do the full invoker configuration in the in invoker element --> | <!-- of the Configuration attribute. --> | | <!-- Remember that if you do use more than one param on the uri, will have to include as a CDATA, --> | <!-- otherwise, parser will complain. --> | <!-- <attribute name="InvokerLocator"><![CDATA[socket://${jboss.bind.address}:4446/?datatype=invocation]]></attribute> --> | | <attribute name="Configuration"> | <!-- Using the following <invoker> element instead of the InvokerLocator above because specific attributes needed. --> | <!-- If wanted to use any of the parameters below, can just add them as parameters to the url above if wanted use the InvokerLocator attribute. --> | <config> | <!-- Other than transport type and handler, none of these configurations are required (will just use defaults). --> | <invoker transport="socket"> | <attribute name="dataType" isParam="true">invocation</attribute> | <attribute name="marshaller" isParam="true">org.jboss.invocation.unified.marshall.InvocationMarshaller</attribute> | <attribute name="unmarshaller" isParam="true">org.jboss.invocation.unified.marshall.InvocationUnMarshaller</attribute> | <!-- This will be port on which the marshall loader port runs on. --> | <!-- <attribute name="loaderport" isParam="true">4447</attribute> --> | <!-- The following are specific to socket invoker --> | <attribute name="numAcceptThreads">1</attribute> | <attribute name="maxPoolSize">300</attribute> | <attribute name="clientMaxPoolSize" isParam="true">300</attribute> | <attribute name="timeout">5000</attribute> | <attribute name="serverBindAddress">${jboss.bind.address}</attribute> | <attribute name="serverBindPort">4446</attribute> | <attribute name="enableTcpNoDelay" isParam="true">false</attribute> | <attribute name="backlog">2</attribute> | <!-- The following is for callback configuration and is independant of invoker type --> | <!-- <attribute name="callbackMemCeiling">30</attribute>--> | <!-- indicates callback store by fully qualified class name --> | <!-- <attribute name="callbackStore">org.jboss.remoting.CallbackStore</attribute>--> | <!-- indicates callback store by object name --> | <!-- <attribute name="callbackStore">jboss.remoting:service=CallbackStore,type=Serializable</attribute> --> | <!-- config params for callback store. if were declaring callback store via object name, --> | <!-- could have specified these config params there. --> | <!-- StoreFilePath indicates to which directory to write the callback objects. --> | <!-- The default value is the property value of 'jboss.server.data.dir' and if this is not set, --> | <!-- then will be 'data'.
