Has anybody else had significant scalability problems with 9iAS (Apache and OC4J) running a simple J2EE application over SSL? We're running both the App Server and Oracle RDBMS on Windows 2003 server machines. The application crashes under 150 concurrent users after about 25 minutes of load. CPU and DB utilization is < 5% but our packet sniffers detect lots of SSL errors. When we run the same test with only port 80 the application can handle over 1000 concurrent users for hours. Is this just Oracle's crazy implementation of SSL 3.0???
Thanks in advance!

We submitted a TAR and so far, no definitive reply. We are installing SSL Accelerators to offload handshaking from the 9iAS HTTP server to the SSL appliance. Hopefully this will produce immediate results.
Otherwise it's hello Linux :)

Did you ever get a resolution or have a copy of the TAR submitted to Oracle? We are being told by a consultant we need to purchase an SSL Accelerator as well or having 2,000 + users we will see logs of packets being dropped and a large latency period.

Sorry for the non-response...we solved the problem and I haven't checked this forum in a while.
Anyway, we upgraded to Oracle 10g much to their liking...this solved all the SSL problems that we had. So no need to buy the SSL Accelerators at this time.
How is your configuration now?

You mentioned that you are running both the database and app server. Did you upgrade the database or app server to 10G. We are having the same problems and are running 9.0.4.1 of the app server and 9.2 of the database.

FYI -- addendum to my last post on this topic...we've experienced some random Apache termination errors that even Oracle can't explain. Bottom line is that Apache is just not optimized for Windows 2003 Server. Regardless, we're still stable enough for production, with solid performance and scalability. We've mitigated the Apache problem with polling scripts that generate admin notification messages when the service is stopped. It's not the most elegant solution, but it's quick and effective since we're aware of the issue.
Anybody else out there experience this error with 10gAS???

behavior is the same regardless of patch level or max clients parameter, which has been tested w/ various values and is now commented out of the entire configuration...at this point it's not enough of an issue to warrant a full investigation. we're at the 99% solution regardless.
