JBoss 4.2.3 + APR Excessive handle counts (possible leak)

greg.kogan Oct 30, 2008 8:06 PM

Hi,

I am running JBoss 4.2.3 on windows (xp or win2003) and I am noticing a huge(hundreds of thousands) number of handles used by the java process when APR is enabled. If I disable APR, the handles stay under control and do not go beyond 2500.

The web server (JBoss-Web) is set up to handle both SSL and non-ssl requests. The SSL requests are being handled by org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol connector, so APR shouldn't impact on SSL operation (I could be wrong here)

For now, I am disabling APR, but would love to have it on at some point.

Appreciate any insight into this,

Thank you,
Greg

Which version of JBoss Native you are using?

... and yes, If non APR connector is used for SSL (using Java JSSE)
it won't impact the SSL operation.

I tried both 1.1.16 and 1.1.13 with the same outcome. I used the binaries bundled with JBoss Native 2.0.6 and 2.0.4 for Win32.

Thank you,

I am still unable to get the handles under control... I am disabling the APR for now, if anybody has any ideas/suggestions, I'd really appreciate.

Thanks
