Thank you. My next question is: I have a conventional servlet--based

handle the thousands of concurrent requests it is getting.
please define 'thousands of concurrent requests'. Classical servlet
based applications will be able to handle many thousands requests per
second, assuming that the application itself can be fast enough to deal
with the load.
A common mistake is to confuse 'number of requests per second' and
'concurrent requests'. Every time I hear about someone telling me that
'my application cannot accept more than 100 concurrent users, there is
probably something wrong on Tomcat', I wonder if there is some database
down the chain that sucks many ms and make the system to stale.
If most of the time is spent processing your requests in your
application, using asyncweb *won't* help.
