Dear Glassfish Community,
we are using glassfish v2ur2 in combination with Apache 2.2 and mod_proxy_ajp on our production server. At least once per week, the communication between apache and glassfish seems to come to a halt.
As a result, users cannot load any java-generated pages (it loads for ages until the browser generates a timeout error). In the glassfish log, we see a lot of broken pipe exceptions, and the apache error_log shows the following errors (several hundreds of them, in different combinations):
[code]

[/code]
Sometimes restarting apache helps to solve the problem, sometimes both apache and glassfish need to be restarted.
BTW, the glassfish stacktrace does not show any busy threads, and there definitely is no garbage collection problem.
What can we do to find the cause of this error?
Kind regards
Bastian
