Hi Mladen, Thanks for the info. I think unless I can set up virtual directories on the Tomcat HTTP server, I might be forced into using another webserver and connector (jk - soon to be jk3 ;)).
I didn't know about that ab command either. That looks pretty useful.

Just as an example for ab -n 500000 -c xx localhost:// (1k file) Tomcat + Native: 14600 req/sec Apache 2.0.54 : 9200 req/sec What's interesting is that you can replicate that by yourself :) Regards, Mladen. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Connaught honoured AIM 'Decade of Excellence' Award Connaught awarded Partnering Contractor of the Year 2005 Connaught wins AIM 'Company of the Year' award 2004 West of England Business of the Year Award Winner 2003 Why not visit our website http://www.connaught.plc.uk Disclaimer: The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
