More urban myth. As another respondent pointed out, all modern JVMs (i.e., from JRE 1.2 on) use native threads and the underlying OS for thread dispatching. Coupled with thread-local object allocation (available since JRE 1.3), scaling of Tomcat itself is not a problem; it runs happily on our 32-CPU servers as long as the applications themselves have no inherent bottlenecks. You do want to adjust the heap parameters for any serious work, especially on a Windows platform, where the default maximum borders on the miniscule. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
