Hm, we have setup IIS in front of Tomcat so it can serve off the static content, I thought that was the conventional wisdom.
We're looking at about 300+ users of which maybe lets say 20 concurrent at quiet times, probably approaching 100+ when we announce something. Would you say Tomcat can handle that fairly well including the static stuff? Would I just need to look at server.xml to get more performance from Tomcat (exluding the JProfiler run) or is a cluster a really good idea too. If a cluster is a good idea I'd be eternally grateful for some pointers on good docs to set a TC5 cluster up and a free stable load balancer to work with that. I think Professonal Tomcat 5 comes out in May but that's too late for me ;) Regards, ADC. -----Original Message----- From: Shapira, Yoav [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 20 January 2004 15:58 To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: maxProcessors vs maxThreads Howdy, >You seem to know what you are talking about and it amuses me everyday you >come on at the same sort of time and bang off all the answers :) (although >regrettably I was hoping you would answer my Tomcat and Clusters one >yesterday).

Tomcat standalone. I have yet to find a single production system that required apache in front of tomcat, and I've put more systems than I care to count in production for various clients in various industries and technical environments. And every time, the simplicity, ease of deployment, and ease of maintenance added significant value that can be measured in $$$. Most of these apps had strict contractually-defined performance goals, and in those cases we tested rigorously to make sure tomcat by itself performs well enough to handle the expected maximum loads. And that's why I don't bother to keep up with the connectors, their configuration, deployment, architecture, supported features, etc. If I ever find a system that requires them, I might give it a shot then. But this is why I laugh when people start off when a setup involving apache and connectors without making sure they really need them ;) Yoav Shapira This e-mail, including any attachments, is a confidential business communication, and may contain information that is confidential, proprietary and/or privileged.
