Hi,
There is an application that our team uses that has been throwing "Connection Time Out" errors very often.
We want to resolve this problem ASAP, but we are at a dead end of how to go about resolving this problem.
The application that we use is apache-tomcat-6.0.32. In the same server that this version of tomcat runs, we also have applications running on apache-tomcat-7.0.12.
For the latter, there is no connection time out problems. After further investigation, I found an article that says :
Quote:
Support for Apache Tomcat 6.0.x ended on 31st December 2016. There have been multiple security vulnerabilities announced since then that are very likely to affect the 6.0.x series (once a Tomcat version reaches EOL, it is not assessed to see if it is affected by new security vulnerability reports).
So I believe that this is the cause for the problem ?
To resolve this our team has discussed, and the plan is to upgrade the tomcat to tomcat 8, and josso from 1.8 to josso 2. I have started the setup and config of josso2, however now I am stuck at getting the user credentials from our database.
I am sure this will take some time to resolve, although I cannot estimate how long.
Is there a way to temporarily stop the "Connection Time Out" problem? Is it possible to add some values/variables in workers.properties or any other config file in tomcat to resolve this problem temporarily?
