Wayne Wang commented on MODCLUSTER-536:
---------------------------------------

Additional comments:
(1) When I tested through App server (wildfly10) directly, the application can handle a lot heavier load without error
(2) Once a load test through web server encounter error (lsof showed a big number), the web server (mod_cluster) will not be in good state even when lsof showed a small number after an extended period of time. It has to be restarted to handle a load test. Again, it can not handle many rounds of load tests.

> I was able to configure wildfly 10 modcluster to work with Apache mod_cluster (1.3.1). However, when I was doing a load test, I found out that the test through web server eventually caused error in wildfly instance and I also saw error log in Apache web server
> The obvious error in wildfly instance is the so-called "java.net.SocketException: Too many files open". When I used the command lsop -u   | grep TCP | wc -l, I can see the number grew steadily until the wildfly instance reported the error. This was when I sent requests through web server.
> However, when I sent the requests through wildfly instance (app server) directly, the number did not grow, and the app server can take a lot heavier load without this issue.
> The issue did not happen until many rounds of load tests were executed through web server. If I restart the web server, everything is working fine until I execute many rounds of load tests again
