Web app stops responding to requests, admin console works fine

Hello,

I'm having trouble with a web app that suddenly stops responding to requests. My vital stats: Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 9.0_01 (build b02-p01) running on Windows Server 2003.

This web app communicates with a bunch of EJBs floating around in the same application server instance when processing requests. This works fine for a while, but after a few dozen requests, the server suddenly stops responding to HTTP requests on the webapp's port (2976). The client browser seems to connect fine, but the server doesn't return anything. The admin console (port 1138) is still perfectly accessible.

I believe I have successfully narrowed this problem down to the following: the servlet is attempting to connect to a stateless EJB, however the MyEjbClass.getEpisodeByID() method seems to not be responding, causing the servlet to idle while it waits for the response.

I started the domain using --verbose, and have attached the jstack dump.

Any pointers on what I might be doing wrong would be well appreciated... thanks!

Regards,
Ben
