Hi,
The best way to find out such things (system limits) is to write a small
test program, because, even if you find the info in some docs/specs,
it might not hold good in your case - depending on your machine/OS config.
Try this idea :
Write a simple servlet (say a subclass of HttpServlet) that stays in
a while loop inside the doGet method, so that it does not terminate
immediately. The while loop could either be for a large number of
seconds ( = 30 minutes, say), or an infinite loop. This is to allow
you
time to start up multiple requests to it. To do that, write a simple
Java
program that acts like a client to the servlet, i.e. invokes the
servlet's
URL. Then startup multiple instances of this servlet from a shell
script
(I'm assuming you can do this from a UNIX/Linux box here - from
NT/9x
I'm not sure if you will be able to start up (potentially) tens or
hundreds
of clients, since you might have to start a DOS window for each, and
hence might run out of memory on your PC before the servlet runner
runs out of connections).
If you're not sure how to write such a client (that basically
simulates
a browser making a HTTP request), check any good Java book's
networking examples, or Jason Hunter's servlet book - I believe
it has an example of how to do this.
Another option might be, instead of starting multiple instances
of the client, to write the client in such a way, maybe using
threads,
that it can itself simulate multiple requests to the servlet (one in
each thread). In this case you should be able to test it from NT/9x
as well.
