    HornetQ Servlet or HTTP via mod_proxy results in intermediate connection losses.

      Hi all,

       

      We're finally upgrading from JBossMQ to HornetQ! For JBossMQ we allways used the jbossmq-httpil invocation layer to create connections from hubs worldwide to one central server. The central server is a JBoss Server hidden behind an apache front-end server with mod_proxy_ajp as reverse proxy.

       

      For HornetQ the setup needs to be similar. I tried with with the servlet connector/acceptor and deployed the messaging.war in jboss (HTTP on port 8080, AJP on port 8009).

       

      My client can only connect to the apache server, so I configured mod_proxy in the apache server:

      ProxyPass /messaging/ ajp://local.hornetq:8009/messaging/

       

      I can now connect to the server using a client connection with properties useServlet=true, servletPath=messaging/HornetQServlet, host=apache, port=80, and I can send and receive individual messaging very easily.

       

      But as soon as I need to send/receive a couple of messages in a row I get

       

      WARNING: Timed out waiting for handler to complete processing

      javax.jms.JMSException: Timed out waiting for response when sending packet 43

         ...

      Caused by: HornetQException[errorCode=3 message=Timed out waiting for response when sending packet 43]

                ... 19 more

       

      If I go directly to the jboss server (host=local.hornetq, port=8080), everything keeps running smoothly.

       

      I also tried:

      ProxyPass /messaging/ http://local.hornetq:8080/messaging/

      SetEnv proxy-sendchunked 1

      But this gives the same errors.

       

       

      I suspect that HornetQ uses some strange HTTP requests with long running connections and Chunked encoding that gets blocked by mod_proxy_ajp. Any advice on how to tune apache to fix this?
