Tomcat SSL issues and looking for an expert
I have a customer who is running Tomcat 4.1.27. We have been having a
problem when using SSL (running the site on port 443). Periodically the
server will stop responding on 443, but not on port 80. Restarting the
Tomcat server is required to restore functionality.
We are also looking at the possibility of using the standard Apache HTTP
server as a front-end, and using tomcat as a JSP backend server.
I have been asked to try to find someone, "an expert at Tomcat," that
could help out my customer in planning their implementation, and possibly
figuring out the SSL hanging issue in the meantime. Is there anyone that
may be able to help?
Specs:
Tomcat 4.1.27, Sun JDK 1.4.2, Red Hat Linux 9
thanks,
Randy

The SSL thing seemed to tickle my memory:

If Randy wants to inspect his logs and try out the steps outlined in the
bug report, we can make sure this bug is good and dead.

Any ideas as to when 4.1.28 will be out?
Also, on my second question... still looking for an 'expert.' My customer
wants someone with experience in using Tomcat in a largescale environment
(1-2 million hits per day). There is a possibility of this being short
term contract deal.
thanks,
-Randy

Without more details, I'm guess the problem with the SSL standalone
configuration is the same as
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21763.
Fronting Tomcat with Apache avoids the bug above, but as anyone who has been
on this list at least a day knows, it comes with its own worm-can ;-).
