We have an old server running Tomcat 5.5.

Yesterday we deployed a war file, and then it started to crash.

Looking at catalina.date.log I found some java.util.zip.ZipException and then java.lang.OutOfMemoryError. I think it's resulting in memory leak that crashes Tomcat when there's no more memory to feed it.

3 files are involved:

  • /var/tomcat/tomcat-5.5.25/common/i18n/._tomcat-i18n-es.jar
  • /var/tomcat/tomcat-5.5.25/common/lib/._jasper-compiler-jdt.jar
  • /var/tomcat/tomcat-5.5.25/common/lib/._naming-factory-dbcp.jar

They are all in their places and aren't corrupted. Of course the ._ is the first suspect of causing the error. The problem is that these files aren't referenced anywhere in application, even more a i18n-es one, because it has no i18n feature and no spanish config in it and, ALAIK, neither in Tomcat.

Upgrading Tomcat o 7 isn't a possibility, and it wasn't crashing before this app was deployed so blaming the server isn't a viable solution either.

Could anybody give me an idea of what may be using these files or adding that ._ on them?

below is full traces log, it goes from deployment to Tomcat restart. {AppName} is war's name. There's no reference at all to our packages anywhere in stacktraces, it all happens Tomcat's code.

In my case, I accidently delete 'temp' direcrtory under Tomcat root directory and it poses this error message. Maybe you can check if temp exists or not. If yes, then check if the ownership of the account that starts Tomcat.

You might want to increase your shared memory settings when starting tomcat. this can be a temp folder issue (think of no space, no permissions, as Scott did write)

Additionally it is possible that this is just too much ram you use:

Increase your Xmx and Xms values and you might want to update your heap settings aswell.

Ceck the SF search for "OOM tomcat" and you will find the rest of the things you need to learn.
