You can try using a testing tool, like Loadrunner, to stress your
application and see what the results are, and get quantifiable values - not
"gee it seems a bit slower today"
Basically it starts up a bunch of threads that appear to be users of your
application and they follow a set of instructions, like playing a recorded
macro.

Subject: RE: Architectural question for tomcat-apache running Virtual Hosts
Hi,
At the company we work at, we work on a linux box, where everyone has
running it's own environment of apache and tomcat. We run about 20 tomcats,
started sperately from the same tomcat distrubution, but with a different
TOMCAT_HOME set. They are all running on different ports though and I don't
know if that is something you want.
We have regurlaly 60 people shopping at the same time in 1 shop (with a hugh
load on images) and everything still runs smoothly...
Mvgr,
Martin

Subject: Architectural question for tomcat-apache running Virtual Hosts
I sent this question over the weekend, but don't think anyone saw it. I
have an apache-tomcat configuration running on Linux servers. Does anyone
have any experience or know if there is a limit to how many virtual hosts
you should set up on one instance of tomcat? What is the most traffic or
connection limit before I should either use another instance of tomcat or
use an entirely new server? How can I track the status of everything to see
when we are getting too busy? Is there a good software I can use? Maybe
even some basic Linux commands on Linux I can use to keep track of things?
I am pretty new to these types of issues, if anyone can provide some insight
or tell me where to look to do a little research on this topic, I would
greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance...
