I am concerned that the scalabile limit of a servlet is the number of
active threads. The recent JVM perfromance article
(http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-03-1999/jw-03-volanomark.html)
indicates that the performance of the VM decreases with the number of
threads. If this is the case then surely the logical step is to have
mulitple JVM processes running a seperate servlet instance. How do you
guys get large through put with a single instance of a servlet?
If am wrong then kindly correct me but the scalability of servlets seem
to be rather limited.
