[MOBY-dev] Your killing us....

[Andreas Groscurth]

Hi everyone,

we have some problems with our application server and Moby - we havent figured 
out where the problem is, but I do have some questions.

The problem is that our application server (jboss) kind of breaks down every 
morning and does not take any more request until we restart it.

In the Jboss log we find zig of requests from moby central

K = Keepalive

(this is just a short version of the whole log)....

In the web server log we have the following entries

136.159.169.80 - - [12/Dec/2007:22:44:55 +0100] 
"POST /axis/services/get_GO_Term_by_Database_ID HTTP/1.1" 200 719 "-" 
"SOAP::Lite/Perl/0.69"
136.159.169.80 - - [12/Dec/2007:22:45:37 +0100] 
"POST /axis/services/BuildPhylogeneticTreeFromFastaAlignment HTTP/1.1" 200 
771 "-" "SOAP::Lite/Perl/0.69"
136.159.169.80 - - [12/Dec/2007:22:47:47 +0100] 
"POST /axis/services/get_agi_code_by_keyword HTTP/1.1" 200 707 "-" 
"SOAP::Lite/Perl/0.69"
136.159.169.80 - - [12/Dec/2007:22:48:20 +0100] 
"POST /axis/services/GetInAndOrthologsFromRefSeq HTTP/1.1" 200 723 "-" 
"SOAP::Lite/Perl/0.69"
136.159.169.80 - - [12/Dec/2007:22:48:22 +0100] 
"POST /axis/services/buildMultipleAlignmentWithMAFFT HTTP/1.1" 200 739 "-" 
"SOAP::Lite/Perl/0.69"

(again a short version)

So, over the night MobyCentral calls our services frequently and this results 
in the 'sleeping' of the jboss..

to figure out what happens - what exactly happens during these calls ? what 
are these calls ? - and why are they marked as 'keep alive' ? 

Any suggestions on that ?

Thanks
Andreas
