restarting tomcat in production
hi,
i'm looking for some feedback on whether or not it's a normal procedure
to regularly restart tomcat. we have some memory leak somewhere that
forces us to restart the process every 6-8 days but we're thinking that
just putting in a script to restart daily would prevent this and may not
be a bad idea to do even if there wasn't any leak.
any response appreciated. thanks in advance...ron

Agreed,
and if you have any session information and the session can't be (for
whatever reason) be de/serialized, it would indeed be a very bad idea to
restart tomcat.

The best practice is to find the "leak" and fix it. Restarting is a cover up
to a problem that may cause bigger problems down the road as the project
scope increases. You "can" do this but it only hides the real problem and if
someone replicates you site and forgets to write or enable the script, then
the problem will resurface and you will have to start the discovery process
all over again.
