Re: [jetty-discuss] Jetty 6 stability issues

[Greg W. <gr...@we...>]

Silvio,

we are currently in the unfortunate situation where the 6.1.0rc releases
are probably more stable than the 6.0.2 releases.

There are a couple of issues with 6.0.2 that either will cause no problem
at all - or may leak connections and cause instability.  an lsof
or netstat will show if you are having this problem (with many connections
left open to a few specific types of proxy servers).

I have been trying to get 6.1.0 stable, as I think that is a simpler course
of action rather than trying to backport the fixes to 6.0.2

6.1.0 has been through 2.4 compliance testing and another round of
stress testing - plus several versions of it are in production on
moderately high traffic sites.  It will be as much like a .1 release
as 6.0.2 is like a .0 release.

So if 6.0.2 is giving you grief - then I would suggest today changing
to the SocketConnector.

I will be doing a 6.1.0rc2 very soon and I expect 6.1.0 to be the
stable release in 2006!!!!

regards
