Hi,

JBOSS 2.3.2 (integrated tomcat). By server restarts I mean, as if you ran the shutdown.sh script and the start.sh script. I am tailing the logs on putty and when I try and download a large file I can see that after a while the server shutsdown and then restarts. I am guessing that there is some kind of auto-restart mechanism on the box that kicks in if the server crashes...and that downloading large files crashes the box?

The log seems to truncate when it restarts so I dont have anything to send. This is driving me mad! It works fine on localhost and seemed to work for months on my last hosting provider - however I moved from there as the box seemed to frequently crash. I am now wondering if it was the code and there was just no mechanism to restart the server on the old box - and really this is just the same problem?

I simply ftp a file from a fileserver into a bytearray. Then pass the bytearray into the ServletOuputStream. I am of course setting all the headers so explorer recognises it as a download. Like i say it works but it seems to crash the box?
