Tomcat classes from previous run remains

+1 vote
652 views

I am running an j2ee application which uses spring, hibernate, jsf, etc. The application also uses ha-jdbc to make the databases highly available. When the application is deployed for the first time, the app runs smoothly, but when it is un-deployed and deployed back, tomcat gives the following error:

The following web applications were stopped (reloaded, undeployed), but their classes from previous runs are still loaded in memory, thus causing a memory leak (use a profiler to confirm):

I am wondering how to get rid of this problem. One Solution is restarting the server. Please let me know the solution with out restarting the server if any.

I'd suggest you start by reading this. It's a good introduction to the problem.
https://people.apache.org/~markt/presentations/2010-11-04-Memory-Leaks-60mins.pdf

Then get a Profiler and follow the steps on slide #11. Once you figure out what is holding a reference to your application, you can determine where you go from there to fix it. Sometimes it something you need to fix in your code, sometimes it's something in a third party library that needs fixed.

Further detail can be found on the FAQ here.

How do I start and stop just the tomcat admin application from a command line?

How do I start and stop just the tomcat admin application from a command line?

I had someone try to guess the password to my Tomee-Plume server last night. Thankfully I changed the default password and the hacker only tried twice. I want to be able to keep the admin application closed most of the time. On the rare occasion that I need access to the tomcat admin console I would like to start it up only for a brief period of time and then stop it.

Internet searches showed me how to stop other applications using the tomcat admin application. I want to stop just the Tomcat admin application not the whole server.

How to route the request from apache with custom ports ( 86- http port, 4444-SSL port) to tomcat

We have a set up like Apahce (80,443) redirects the request to Tomcat (8080) using mod_jk.

The new requirement is to route the request from the same apache to another tomcat (8090). Hence I made the different config file for apache with different ports (86,4444) and different worker for mod_jk which routes the request to tomcat.

Now the issue is when I hit the url http://:86 and after providing the credentials, it is redirecting to https://:86 and throwing the below error.

Error in browser:

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to x.x.x.x:86. SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length. (Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)

Error in logs:

Could you please suggest where it might went wrong and the way forward..
