Hi All,

We have web application running on Caucho's resin server (3.0.14) on jdk 1.5.0_11 and Red hat Linux. We are noticing that java process is running out of file handles within 24-30 hours. We have file limit of 5000 which it consumes in 24 hours throwing 'java.util.zip.ZipException: Too many open files'.
I have made sure all sorts of file handles are closed from application point of view. Here is the snapshot of lsof (list of file handles) from java process. The following list keeps growing until it runs out of limit. Do you have tips/suggestions on how to mitigate this problem (considering we dont want to increase ulimit for this process)? Also, can you make out any thing more from the description of file handles like, are they unclosed POP3 connections or URL connection to external sites?
