Hi Amy,
Thanks for all the help! The SEVERE errors disappeared by including the apache/conf/workers.properties file as you expected (yay!).
I even eliminated the WARNING for threadpool.max_threads_too_low because I had mistakenly increased the Default configuration rather than the Server configuration's settings in the web console (after I increased the server configuration's settings the warning went away).
Some follow-up questions:
1. Do my final (and complete) configuration settings below look OK?
asadmin> start-domain --port 4850
asadmin> deploy /home/glassfish/apps/hello.war --port 4850
asadmin> create-net wor k-listener --protocol http-listener-1 --listenerport 8009 --jkenabled true jk-connector --port 4850
asadmin> set server-config.network-config.network-listeners.network-listener.jk-connector.jk-configuration-file=/home/glassfish/glassfish3/glassfish/domains/domain1/config/glassfish-jk.properties --port 4850
asadmin> create-jvm-options -Dcom.sun.enterprise.web.connector.enableJK.propertyFile=/home/glassfish/glassfish3/glassfish/domains/domain1/config/glassfish-jk.properties --port 4850
asadmin> restart-domain --port 4850
We didn't talk about the 2nd to last line above (e.g. create-jvm-options), but it's mentioned in step 7 here:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18930_01/html/821-2416/gfaad.html
2. Can you give specific details on how to exactly set maxThreads using the admin console? For example, how to navigate to the screen where the setting may be input, and which fields to fill out what, etc.?
Thanks so much, -GKK

Hi Amy,
Over the last week I tried to find examples for setting connector attributes using glassfish-jk.properties, but could find much. Most of the time I see things like this (scroll down to bottom):
http://code.google.com/p/eid-archetype/wiki/UsageJavaEE6
where the ONLY thing inside the glassfish-jk.properties file are worker info.
Example 6-5 here
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18930_01/html/821-2416/gfaad.html is also misleading when it says " This example shows a workers.properties or glassfish-jk.properties file that is set for mod_jk ."
I see where you're getting mislead. There should be two properties files. One for workers (referenced by JkWorkersFile from httpd.conf) and another one for Connector (referenced by server-config.network-config.network-listeners.network-listener.jk-connector.jk-configuration-file). The above example uses glassfish-jk.properties as the file name for JkWorkersFile to define workers info where I was using glassfish-jk.properties name to refer to the other (Connector attributes).
Try adding the following to apache/conf/httpd.conf and add worker info in workers.properties
JkWorkersFile conf/workers.properties
Add maxThreads=256 to glassfish-jk.properties and set it either using admin console or asadmin set command.
set server-config.network-config.network-listeners.network-listener.jk-connector.jk-configuration-file=/home/glassfish/glassfish3/glassfish/domains/domain1/config/glassfish-jk.properties
You can find the format of Properties from
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/Properties.html . See load for key/element examples.
I will relay this input to the docs team to update the docs to be more clear in the next release.
Thanks,
Amy

Do you have an example glassfish-jk.properties file you could send me? I want to see the correct syntax for setting attributes.
For example, should the glassfish-jk.properties file be:
protocol=AJP/1.3
maxThread=256
or,
protocol="AJP/1.3"
maxThreads="256"
or something else(?).
Maybe I missed this in the documentation somewhere? Thanks, GKK

Hi Amy, I'll add a workers.properties file as well (you might make a note to clarify this in the Administration Guide). I guess this opens the question -- should the glassfish-jk.properties file then contain everything the workers.properties file contains PLUS the additional attributes such as maxThreads (or just those additional attributes such as MaxThreads, and not worker.list=worker1, worker.worker1.type=ajp13, etc.)?

glassfish-jk.properties is for Connector attributes only so you shouldn't put worker info there.

Also, I previously used the GlassFish web-console (port 4850 for me) to manually adjust the "max thread pool size" for http-thread-pool from 5 to 200 (which didn't improve the thread size warning). Will your recommended command,

I didn't see that you already did this. If you'd done admin console to update then asadmin set isn't necessary.

asadmin set configs.config.server-config.thread-pools.thread-pool.http-thread-pool.max-thread-pool-size=newvalue'
attempt to do the same thing (assuming I use 200 for "new value")? The max size for admin-thread-pool is 50 and thread-pool-1 is 200, so none of these 3 thread pools should be the issue (that is, unless the thread pool size is supposed to update from default values at a time later than the warning message issues).
Lastly, I'll use the following commands as mentioned below unless you recommend otherwise:
asad min> delete-http-listener jk-connector
asadmin> create-network-listener --protocol http-listener-1 --listenerport 8009 --jkenabled true jk-connector --port 4850
asadmin> set server-config.network-config.network-listeners.network-listener.jk-connector.jk-configuration-file=/home/glassfish/glassfish3/glassfish/domains/domain1/config/glassfish-jk.properties --port 4850
