I have a Grails web application (just a standard war file) deployed on a Ubuntu 10.10 server running on tomcat 6. My database is postgresql.
The problem is that every so often (once or twice a day after inactivity) when I try to log into this web application it just freezes. I can navigate to the login page but when I try and login (first time the DB is hit, might be a clue..?) the application just freezes indefinitely, no 500 response code... the browser just waits and waits.
I followed the instructions detailed here
because the problem described sounded the same as mine. My GC logging showed no long running GC, all sub sec.
When the application freezes a jmap heap output is...
using parallel threads in the new generation.
using thread-local object allocation.
Concurrent Mark-Sweep GC

Anyone know what "From Space:" is?
Any ideas on further fault finding ideas? I dont have much experience with this type of fault finding.
