Blocking glassfish with a load of HTTP requests

Hi

Using: Sun GlassFish Communications Server 1.5 (9.1.1) (build b60g-fcs)

Our glassfish web service gets blocked when receiving several HTTP requests
at the same time. We're talking about 100 threads sending 1 HTTP request at
the same time. This should not be a big deal for Glassfish IMO.

This is weird because using JMeter I'm not able to reproduce the same
problem, this is only related to our client.

There is most probably something wrong in our client but this blocks
completly our glassfish instance and a restart is needed (no more HTTP
requests are accepted) :-(

Any idea why this is happening ?

Pascal
