Question

Friends,

I am building a JAVA TCP listener, where it can handle 6000 incoming request at a time. I am creating a socket connection and accepting data, after accepting data, i am doing some operation over it by creating a thread, but i am not killing this thread, since device will send data in every two minutes, so i am only making thread to sleep mode for 30 seconds.

But after running system for five minute, my application which is running under tomcat6.0 giving error – “The web application appears to have started a thread named [Thread-214] but has failed to stop it. This is very likely to create a memory leak.”

Please help me to understand where i am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

If you have many sockets, instead of using thread per channel.
Try using One thread that go over all sockets.
look at the Java Selector
