I assume that your web app was dealing with a backend database. In that case, it is quite possible that your JDBC data source is running out of connections. So the timeout is not necessarily caused by the servlet, but by the connection pool. One option is to increase the number of connections in the connection pool. 8 out 10 times this can be the solution.

I got a servlet which serves a large amount of data to users. When a particular number of users is accessing this servlet, others failed to reach it (receive nothing until the connection timed out). If they access other servlets on the same Tomcat there won't be any problem. My Questions are: Is it that the Tomcat have any settings to allow how many users to be able to access a servlets at the same time? or is it that my Servlets need to follow certain coding pattern? What would prevent the users from accessing the Tomcat's servlet when other's running it as well? I'm running on Tomcat 4.1 with J2SDK 1.4.2 Any opinions and feedbacks are welcomed.
