Does anyone have an opinion of Tomcat running in a very high traffic environment, let's say, 100K - 500K unique visits/day? I'm also wondering about the possibility of running a Tomcat server standalone as opposed to using mod_jk.so with Apache to mount webapps with. Would this be more stable,

No need to be annoyed (or to buy a bigger monitor). This post was about Java's portability and the notion of process ownership. My point was that you can't have native support for this feature because not all OS's support it. That's why you have to include native code for a particular S. I kno
