Re: Apparent Robustness issue

[Nathan Wray <nw...@mich.com>]

I'm running Tomcat and Soap 2.0 under Solaris x86.  We had a situation last week where our dev SOAP server got flaky and crashed hard that was never explained, purely anecdotal I know.

If you come up with anything Jim, or you need someone to verify test results, please let me know.  This may be specific to Tomcat rather than SOAP, anyone notice any long-term SOAP stability issues under various servlet engines?

Also, this may be more appropriate under soap-dev than soap-user if it turns out to be a library bug of some kind.

If you lend someone $20, and never see that
person again, it was probably worth it.
