Re: Tomcat Site slow and stops responding after certain number of threads
We use the JK 2 Connector and for some of the sites we have maxProcessors=75. My understanding is when the maxProcessors limit is reached, the requests are put in queue and this will not cause the site to go down. IS this number dependent on total number of TCP/IP connections hitting that server on port 80? Is there a downfall of bumping this number very high, assuming there is enough memory on the server to allow these threads? Can anyone comment on, how to identify the current connector thread utilization?

My experience is that this is not a hard limit, but will be exceeded if the requests at one time go beyond the 75, but those extra threads will be removed when they are done. If you don't mind your java application (tomcat) sharing it's processor time servicing many threads then there shouldn't be any problems. It really depends on how cpu intensive your apps are, more cpu intensive should use fewer threads, imo. -- Love is mutual self-giving that ends in self-recovery.

Re: Tomcat Site slow and stops responding after certain number of threads
We have 4 gigs of memory on the box, although the entire machine peaks at around 2 Gigs we have other sites on the same server running same code that are perfectly alright. But, when the thread count on a site increases beyond the magic number of 107, its slow responding and then a little later it stops responding.

RE: Tomcat Site slow and stops responding after certain number of threads
Yes, We have something like this: Total Memory Allocation: 124 Free Memory: 34 Runtime Max memory: 518 When the site crashes we don't see memory peaks, we only see the thread count increaase.

Tomcat Site
Hi All. There is a site that has some info on Tomcat. They have some listings of programs and tools. Plus there is a support forum. Anyway, if you are looking for some Tomcat-related stuff or want to post a cool program, check them out.

A Tomcat site written in PHP, now if that ain't a good advertisement for Tomcat ;-) (i myself like PHP better anyway - ok ok before a flamewar starts: each of them has its own right to exist) At 13:50 15.07.2003 -0700, you wrote: Hi All.
