Single request turning into many

["Litherland, Mike" <LI...@ccf.org>]

Hi,

I'm new on the list.  I have been struggling with a problem over the past two weeks and am finally resigned to the fact that I'll never figure it out on my own.

I have coded a simple integration server to run on top of Tomcat.  It works fine, except that one of the connectors polls a SOAP connection for data on a regular schedule (which, in turn looks for data in a JMS topic).  That SOAP connection is to an AXIS web service running on the same or another Tomcat instance.  The problem is that when it does so it appears to add another "instance" of the query.  For example the logs on the integration server (using log4j) show an attempt to poll once every ten seconds.  On the AXIS side the logs show that during the first query there was an attempt to poll.  Ten seconds later there will be two attempts to poll, then ten seconds after that three attempts and so on.  This continues until things run out of memory or I Stop and Start the Axis application within Tomcat.

I have piles and piles of logging code on both sides of the application and I am quite sure I am not calling the server side of this more than once every 10 seconds.  I've attempted to google the problem and looked around the Apache website, but I'm no closer to solving this than I was two weeks ago.

Can anybody point me in the right direction to solve this problem?  I can provide whatever information might be helpful.

Thanks,
Mike Litherland
