Hi All,

We've just had a nasty situation : our ActiveMQ Server standalone plain
vanilla TCP Transport, no persistency, no nuffink) on one of our live
installations suddenly refused to accept any new connections - no clients
could connect. All currently connected clients were fine, and messages were
being processed sent and received fine. Just no-one else could connect.

After 20 minutes, new connections were suddenly allowed.

The following exception was in our log.

2006-Aug-11 12:17:47.726 aqualive [ActiveMQ Transport Server:
tcp://blah:61616]  ERROR org.apache.activemq.broker.TransportConnector -

My interpretation of the above that something (port scanner maybe ? Our
curious IT department ?) is connecting to the listening socket, and the
TransportServer is trying to tell the connecting process what the wireformat
is - and the connection process is just sitting there, not responding,
acknlowedging, or doing anything at all - yet not closing the connection.
Therefore, the transport server is blocked, preventing anyone else
connecting. After 20 mins - which I am guessing is somekind of lowlevel
timeout, seeing as all the default AMQ timeouts seen to be of the order of 1
- 30 secs - a low level TCP exception is thrown, freeing the whole shebang
up.

I notice there is an InactivityMonitor, and looking at the code there is the
following comment
// Disable inactivity monitoring while processing a command.

Could this be the case ? That - until the wireformat has been negotiated -
there is no timeout configured ? Is there anything we can do to reduce this
timeout from 20 mins ? Or have I completed gone down the wrong track ?

This is AMQ 4.0, Win2K, JRE 1.4.2

Cheers,

Charles
