Thanks for your answer, but now I'm a little bit confused. My new questions are: 1) Is 5 the number of threads for every istance of a Servlet in memory? Example: I have 4 Servlets istantiated -----> does this mean that the maximum number of threads is 20? 2) Which is the maximum number of servlets that could be simultaneously istantiated in memory? Is this dependent from the Web Server or the Application Server or whatever? Thanks Elena
