Axis2+Tomcat(Windows): java.lang.OutOfMemoryError!?
Hi,
Sorry to bother you guys again, but i'm having another problem! I dont' know
what it's happening but my webservice in Java through Axis2 (with Tomcat5.5) it
can only process about 4880 requests in less that one minute, then it stops and
starts to throw java.lang.OutOfMemoryError Exceptions!
Note that this webservice is almost identical to another one that was running
through Axis(1.3) that didn't give me any problem in the exactly same
conditions.
The Server(Tomcat) and WebService are running in a Windows Server 2003 in a AMD
Dual Opteron (2x2GHZ) with 2GB DDR Dual Channel (actually it's 4GB but we
removed 2GB for these tests).
I'm running a Benchmark Test in a cluster! The Server is receiving requests from
10 machines, each of them has 10 connections sending requests in burst mode
(send-receive-send...). It's a stress test with the objective of crashing the
server...but i hoped that would last longer than 1 minute (!?).
If you have a solution it will be great, but knowing the reason (i presume it's
not due to my java service application...) for this to happen will also be well
received!
Thanks,
Gonçalo

Well...you're partially right about the Heap Size! I mean partially
because that is one of the parameters of the test, that definitely would
influence the number of requests executed and the time the server could
hold on. These tests with Axis2 are included in a batch of tests that
try to comprehend the most known platforms for Web Services
(Axis+Tomcat, Axis+Tomcat, JBoss, .NET, gSOAP, Axis2+Tomcat,
Axis-C++/Apache,...). I hope to show you guys the results in a near future!
But regarding Axis2:
Initially i thought that the low quantity of requests executed was due
to the low Heap Size i gave it (first test it was with heap size to
128MB). But when i increased the Heap Size to 1GB the results were
pretty much the same (just about 100 requests more...)
You can see now why i send the mail asking for help! I thought that was
something i missed...
About the profiling...now i don't have much time, the deadline for the
paper i'm working it's coming really close! But if you want to really
test the Axis2 platform...if you could deliver one release that doesn't
have this problem in the next two weeks, i'm going to have access to a
400 machine cluster just for these kinds of tests...

Yep, An excellent test which we could not have done in our own environment.
Since you have the setup already, here's a little "request" (:))from us to
pinpoint the problem.
Eran has a valid point about the heap size. You should definitely try it and
see. But I've a hunch that this could be a problem with Axis2. So would you
be able to run a profiler and check which object instances produce this
problem ? I guess you can use one of the open source profilers like ejp (
http://ejp.sourceforge.net/) or Jprofiler has an evaluation version that
should work for this case.

Hi all;
I agree with Eran , that we keep complete context hierarchy in memory , we
have to address this issue , my idea is to have time out for each context
level and remove them from memory after the time complete.
Thanks,
Deepal

Excellent test and amazing results !! I wish if I could be there too.
Anyway Gonçalo,
I admit that we haven't done good profiling on Axis2. For some reason it
is getting postponed. But its not a good excuse.
Since you have some good configuration, can you help us to improve ? We
all really appreciate if you can help in that. If you have time, please
find the bottle necks and post them here. Lets discuss and fix them.
I know for sure there is a problem in life cycles of context hierarchy.
Another small issue. Did you try increasing the heap memory of Tomcat.
However much memory you have, if the heap size is small, you are not
gaining (I think) from your huge memory.
