Max Number of users

Hi,
Can any tell the maximum number of users can login into tomcat at the same
time?
Can I use tomcat to run in an online internet application used by n number
of users and the application runs for 24*7?
Is it reliable?
Thanks
RBS

Well, maybe this list helps to answer the question about Tomcat's reliablity:
http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/PoweredBy

Besides, I guess a lot of companies (like us) don't advertise using
Tomcat due to security-concerns.

I'm just wondering if the OP could digest any information from those
answers now ;)

That's our coroporate website - not my baby. If it was my baby, I'd
just dump and re-develop.

Just to give you one site (a smaller one) which is within our
responsibility - and to increase the number of backlinks for Google:

www.tele-underwriting.de

or, an older website, which soon will be renewed:

www.compass-webdemo.com

Those sites are using OpenSource-components only - and this won't
change unless somebody else gets in charge - which might take quite a
while *cough*

There's a lot of real BS in that thread.  There is one accurate and useful statement:

"What it boils down to is Tomcat's classloader not releasing objects that CGLIB holds in ThreadLocal variables during redeployment"

The classloader cannot, of course, release such objects - it has no knowledge of them.  It really is a CGLIB problem, since it's failing to null out ThreadLocal values at the end of processing each request; such behavior is antisocial, at best.

Solving this problem would be difficult in any container using thread pooling.  If CGLIB provides some means of cleaning up after itself, you might be able to write a filter that runs at the end of each request to make the necessary calls.

Re: Tracking down OOM - PermGen using jmap and jhat

Hi Chuck,

Thanks. I read that tutorial as you suggested. Very useful information. I think I understand the gist of it. After further reading it seems like there are some issues w.r.t. the use of Spring(and/or)Hibernate together with CGLib that particularly affect Tomcat. I found this thread: http://forum.springframework.org/printthread.php?t=21383&pp=40 which seems to try and point the finger at Tomcat. Does anybody concur with these findings or have you found ways around using Spring/Hibernate/CGLib/Tomcat so that they all get along? It's a bit late in the game for me to be making any major architectural changes and Tomcat has worked well for us in all other respects.

Thanks again,
Darryl

Did clicking the button run a major GC (aka PS MarkSweep)?

The culprit is what's keeping the classes from being unloaded.

Re: Tracking down OOM - PermGen using jmap and jhat

Posted by Darryl Pentz <dj...@yahoo.com>.
Hi Charles,

Thanks for the info. I recall a post of yours I read on the Nabble list related to this stuff so I appreciate and value your feedback.

I think I misspoke earlier. When I said the memory is still littered with the application classes, I mean virtually everything, thousands of dynamic Proxy classes that seemed to be generated by Hibernate, all the Hibernate classes, the Spring classes, it was virtually the entire application. What I suspect I saw was the memory prior to GC. I had used the TC manager app to both stop the app and to undeploy. How do I force a GC though? I tried using JConsole's GC button, but clearly this didn't do the trick. Do I just leave Tomcat running for some period of time?

As to the other info:


Other information you need to supply on your next posting:

1) Tomcat version
Tomcat 6.0.18

2) JRE/JDK version (including 32- or 64-bit)
JRE 1.6.0 Update 12 32 bit

3) platform you're running on
Windows 2003 R2

4) JVM command-line options used when starting Tomcat
-Xms512
-Xmx1024
-XX:MaxPermSize=128m

The permsize was bumped up a long time ago because Tomcat runs both a pure Java app and a Grails application which generates a lot of dynamic classes, and Hibernate and Spring are used in both. Some other info on the application itself is that the customer instances where we're experiencing problems also have a high client load (we have client apps that connect to our pure Java server app) and they maintain long-lived socket connections to the server that ping every 30s on the socket as a heartbeat. I don't think the Grails application is causing a problem as the issue occurs even when the Grails app is not (or is hardly) used. So the main activity would be the N clients pinging away with each ping causing a DB roundtrip. At the moment the problem instances have 1800 and 2700 concurrent client connections to the server. So the leak is a LOT more noticeable than some of our customer instances where the client count is much lower.

So the issue right now is a plan of attack to properly unload classes in order to expose the likely culprit.

Many thanks,
Darryl Pentz

Which is likely the exact memory leak you're looking for.  However, you do need to force two full GCs to insure that unreferenced Class objects are scavenged.  If you've done the GCs, then look for where the references to the classes are coming from; that's the cause of the leak.

> Is there another way to 'unload' an app such that it will

TC does not unload classes, a full GC by the JVM does - but only when all references to the Class objects have been cleared.

Other information you need to supply on your next posting:

1) Tomcat version

2) JRE/JDK version (including 32- or 64-bit)

3) platform you're running on

4) JVM command-line options used when starting Tomcat

Tracking down OOM - PermGen using jmap and jhat

Posted by Darryl Pentz <dj...@yahoo.com>.
I'm using this article: http://blogs.sun.com/fkieviet/entry/how_to_fix_the_dreaded to try and isolate an apparent memory leak in our web application. It has been functioning fine until a new release which we deployed over this last weekend. Now suddenly we're hitting PermGen OOM's within the first day.

According to the article above, I should be able to deploy my application, then undeploy it, and be able to then use the combination of jmap and jhat to identify classes that are hanging around in the VM when they should have been unloaded. I'm not having much success with this. 

My first question is, how do I 'unload' a web application from a running Tomcat instance. I have used the manager app to stop and undeploy the app, but in both cases when I run jmap/jhat the resulting output shows the memory to still be littered with the application classes. Is there another way to 'unload' an app such that it will force TC to also unload all of its associated classes?

So that's possibly the second question, assuming I use the correct manager option, how will I know when it's classes have been unloaded as well?

Thanks,
Darryl

No way - let's do a little bet:

Are you able to name the company I'm working for?

I've just checked it:

I've you google my name combined with the city I'm living, chances are
you find my profile and within that profile you find the company.

First one naming the company gets a free beer on the ApacheCon Europe.

Dislaimer:

That does not go for Rainer since I've visited one of his trainings -
so he might remember me ;)

First one means the first one who's entry shows up in this list

Have fun :)

Unfortunately, this guy is quite a famous artist, however, he has
occupied all domains I might think of containg my name - that's the
bad side.

The good side is: If you're googeling my name, you'll hardly find
useful information about me - except if you know what to look for
(i.e. combination with tomcat etc.). That means even in times of Web
2.0 I've got my sweet own privacy ;)

Thanks to Ken for bringing a bit of order into this statistical chaos.

With the idea of refining the very rough analysis and table above, I 
tried to check if there would be any cultural bias in the results as 
provided by www.google.com, by crosschecking them by language.
I thus called up www.google.es (spanish), and searched for respectively 
"Tomcat problemas" (2,850,000 hits) and "Tomcat funciona" (only 88,000 
hits), for a total thus of 2,938,000 hits, which by the same calculation 
would give us a Spanish reliability ratio for Tomcat of only a dismal 
2.9 %. The reality is in fact even worse, because the search on "Tomcat 
funciona" generates a substantial number of hits on "Tomcat no 
funciona", so the 88,000 hits do not even represent the real total of 
satisfied users.
We would thus have to assume either that Spanish-speaking users, 
culturally, are less grateful and much more likely to post messages when 
things do not work than when they do work, or else have to admit that 
Tomcat is somehow incompatible with the Spanish language.
Would any of the committers know if there is substance to either one of 
the previous suspicions, or dispose of a statistical technique allowing 
to overcome this possibly cultural bias ?
As a control, I performed the same analysis on IIS, with the following 
results :

IIS problemas : 6,730,000
IIS funciona : 165,000
total : 6,895,000
reliability ratio : 2.3 %

which would tend to indicate that the bias, if any, also applies to 
other software products, even non-free.
To remove any high-technology related effect, I also tried to apply the 
same analysis to themes unrelated to Tomcat, such as "coche" (car) 
(4,850,000/2,200,000), "mujer" (woman) (15,900,000/10,200,000), and 
"hombre" (man) (17,200,000/11,300,000) and so far it seems to lead to 
the conclusion that Spanish-speaking people, independently of sex, are 
rather grouchy, although less so on these other kinds of products than 
on web software.

Hi,
Can any tell the maximum number of users can login into tomcat at the  
same
time?
Can I use tomcat to run in an online internet application used by n  
number
of users and the application runs for 24*7?
Is it reliable?
Thanks

All depends on your configuration, directly porpotional to "n".

And no, Tomcat is not reliable at all, it's more kinda toy for bored
developers such as me.

That's why we are using Tomcat in a 24/7-environment with a couple of
1000 users, never had any unscheduled dropouts.

A statistical answer :
  - searching Google for "tomcat problems" gives approximately  
2,730,000 links.
  - searching Google for "Tomcat works" gives 5,070,000 links.
  - 2,730,000 + 5,070,000 = 7,800,000 links
  - 5,070,000 / 7,800,000 = 0.65
65% reliability is not bad for a free product.

what a glorious example of self cozenage.
Why do you assume that "tomcat works" is not included in the "tomcat
problems" result?
+tomcat +problems -works -> 1,830,000 results.
+tomcat -problems +works -> 227,000

227/(227+1830) -> 11% Reliability ... :-)

I must admit that my first statistical analysis was flawed, and  
furthermore lacked an element of comparison.
So I refined it and created this table, applying the same objective  
meta-analysis criteria to a range of products :

Product            problems   works     total      reliability %

Apache (httpd)     647,000    857,000   1,504,000    81
IIS              6,530,000  5,900,000  12,430,000    47
Tomcat           2,730,000  5,070,000   7,800,000    65
Jboss              967,000  1,050,000   2,017,000    52
Glassfish          125,000    155,000     280,000    55
Windows         37,500,000 44,300,000  81,800,000    54

 From this, we can draw a number of conclusions :
a) there are a lot more Windows users than anything else
b) there are about 5 times more Tomcat users than Apache httpd users
c) Apache httpd is at least 15% more reliable than any servlet server
d) Tomcat is the most reliable servlet server
e) Most IIS users have problems

Well, maybe this list helps to answer the question about Tomcat's  
reliablity:
http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/PoweredBy

Besides, I guess a lot of companies (like us) don't advertise using
Tomcat due to security-concerns.

A statistician is a person who can affirm that another person having one 
foot caught in ice and the other foot in a bucket of boiling water, is 
on average in a comfortable position.

I must admit that my first statistical analysis was flawed, and 
furthermore lacked an element of comparison.
So I refined it and created this table, applying the same objective 
meta-analysis criteria to a range of products :

Product            problems   works     total      reliability %

Apache (httpd)     647,000    857,000   1,504,000    81
IIS              6,530,000  5,900,000  12,430,000    47
Tomcat           2,730,000  5,070,000   7,800,000    65
Jboss              967,000  1,050,000   2,017,000    52
Glassfish          125,000    155,000     280,000    55
Windows         37,500,000 44,300,000  81,800,000    54

 From this, we can draw a number of conclusions :
a) there are a lot more Windows users than anything else
b) there are about 5 times more Tomcat users than Apache httpd users
c) Apache httpd is at least 15% more reliable than any servlet server
d) Tomcat is the most reliable servlet server
e) Most IIS users have problems
f) on a price/reliability ratio, Apache httpd and Tomcat win hands down

what a glorious example of self cozenage.
Why do you assume that "tomcat works" is not included in the "tomcat
problems" result?
+tomcat +problems -works -> 1,830,000 results.
+tomcat -problems +works -> 227,000

227/(227+1830) -> 11% Reliability ... :-)

of course this statement is as un-serious as yours :-)

A statistical answer :
   - searching Google for "tomcat problems" gives approximately 
2,730,000 links.
   - searching Google for "Tomcat works" gives 5,070,000 links.
   - 2,730,000 + 5,070,000 = 7,800,000 links
   - 5,070,000 / 7,800,000 = 0.65
65% reliability is not bad for a free product.

All depends on your configuration, directly porpotional to "n".

And no, Tomcat is not reliable at all, it's more kinda toy for bored
developers such as me.

That's why we are using Tomcat in a 24/7-environment with a couple of
1000 users, never had any unscheduled dropouts.
