JBOSS SERVER IS GETTING SHUT DOWN

[jboss05]

Hi All,

We've a JBoss server running and everything works fine. But sometimes, the JBoss server gets shutdown abruptly with no exception or error message in the server.log and also i don't see any crash file or any other trace to my knowledge.

We are using JBoss 4.0.1sp1 with Java 1.5 on Mac OS X.

The number of threads running on that box is around 500 and CPU utilization seems to be normal. The min and max heap size are 256 and 512 M respectively. Using top, we don't see any issues with the memory usage though the max heap size is sometimes as high as 440M. Even if we've any issues with memory usage, we expect to get some OutOfMemoryError and we ARE NOT seeing this either. We are not able to reproduce this issue at will.

All the sudden the server silently goes down and we don't see a pattern or reason that triggers it. But we do see the following exception in the server.log which happens once in a while. We are not sure if that's the root cause of this server getting shut down.

Has anyone seen this issue before??? Could someone please throw some light on what could possible have happened?

Thanks for any input in advance!

We seem to have the same problem. If anyone has found out anything on this issue I'd really appreciate any feedback to solve this issue.

Thanks in advance.

Do you use any native libs?
Errors happening while executing native libs may stop the virtual machine without any notification.
We had this problem with ICR libs and also with JACOB.
