RE: Apache Soap 2.2 Web Service stops responding after continuous ly r unning for 2 weeks

["Ding, Chengmin" <Ch...@tfn.com>]

A little bit more observation. I activated the Tomcat window and hit "Enter"
several times, the hanging TestProvider service immediately returned and so
did my web service. It seems that the Web Services have lost focus somehow
and need to be reactivated sometimes.

I actually had similar experience when running Apache Soap server. I'm
running it on Resin 2.0.1. I never tried to run the Apache Soap server for
weeks, normally only minutes or hours. Sometimes when I run client (such as
the ServiceManagerClient list/deploy/undeploy requests), the client just
hangs, I have to Ctrl+C client and server to restart.

I have seen it several times.

Hi,All,
Today we found out our Web Service stopped responding after successfully
running for 2 weeks. No error message was displayed in the tomcat console or
any log files. The VB client just returns 
ErrorNumber: 5400 
ErrorDescription: Application or Object defined Error

Then we ran the addressbook sample and mime sample, both worked fine. But
when we ran the testProvider sample, we encountered the same problem-- The
service never returned and the java client just hang there. 

We want to know whether anyone has encountered a similar problem after
running the webservice for   several weeks? Is it a rule of thumb to always
restart the web service every couple of weeks? (just like NT :))

BTW, can we run the Apache Web Service without a user logon? Now we have to
lock the Server for Apache Soap/tomcat to run. We are using Tomcat 3.3 and
Windows 2000 Server.

Thanks in advance.
