title: Tomcat 6 gets dumb/idle
body: <p>I am working on Spring REST web application with Hibernate that uses SQL server 2008 at back-end. I am using Tomcat 6 as a web server on 64-bit windows machine.</p>
  
  <p>My application works good with this technology stack. But sometimes the tomcat server get dumb/idle suddenly. After getting dumb, the tomcat server doesn't process any request.</p>
  
  <p>The tomcat server remains idle/dumb untill i press Ctrl+C from my keyboard to close it.But this action doesn't close tomcat server. In spite of this,  the tomcat get active again and process all the awaited request(that was in queue, at the time when the server was in idle state).</p>
  
  <p>I have tried to increase the HEAP memory size for tomcat upto 1024 bytes. But it doesn't work for me. Please help me to solve this problem. Here is the the complete technology stack that i am using in my application.</p>
  
  <p>OS - Windows server 2008
  RAM-2 gb
  Processor - Quad Core(2.45 Ghz) 64-bit
  JAVA - JDK 1.6.0_30 (64 bit)
  Tomcat Version - apache-tomcat-6.0.35-windows-x64 </p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.
