I (still!) haven't uploaded my slides from ApacheCon NA 2014 where Jean-Frederic and I presented data that shows a pretty standard piece of hardware can saturate the network before any proxying performance advantages can be seen. There are many reasons to use a reverse proxy (e.g. httpd) out in front of Tomcat, but performance certainly isn't one of them. > What about the overhead of session management for requests of > static content?

Tomcat will need to check permissions if you have any enforced, but if you don't need permissions to be applied to static content, then you should change your setup to, well, not require such permissions and then there will again be no problem. So, my guess is that session management does not represent any change in performance. YMMV, you should test in your own environment, etc. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJUfMxEAAoJEBzwKT+lPKRYj+QP/RIzenbe7nby/AZk2EldPP0i V5SOpXfehOlNWRdwX0yZ5xywDD3RhRC/ooZ9/P9j8448GzMlM3Ewr07Ujg07dPCE Lt+5gs7GGxf7ezTQdhckBrre7BQzF7fTeEGBr+C+glkP6Xr0k6gHukMTvVAwaIpz 3MUlaxbpyd8J5IlMhDRYt2iCbxbbjRDeBbPcBgCQriMyaILm+IGn7sxCE41LN8g0 z2AmmsmWg4a8j1BdCZ8x28Si1fr4IbNLgZs4iyzcJ/eoPVirf/q9fWS+gQTr+Iuc 71ra4A1Nsa6/DDcdsmf+l/YbYXDpNqOCD3BZHrJUjvn/REj9aNFh8rUF4mQjzmbP OYk8CJGcXwKc9/HOc2zlDBGGomgx/Q1/aEpJ1/5+nUUwhjniZfqf0dDG02VGsz8q 729vPl7/fw/WuooKoQd21Pj/lm1PR+Y4QQEm8Hws+Do+5KrsHrH6EX1fcI6BMN75 tF60w2rtv5UtLM21aySjmFN379NEC5ueaPJjHBAsG0uyshPta9x4a3/Hkj3OYqP8 Wfm5zjykif5ZEoyirCZP2fSvmF56UQlGfFaD0TRmj9Ffb5OKL/f6m+2qKScCcxZM hVsXgpMPOrDYdEvA8RtyfkROKINXTLrHFc2CiVkViAGEQTrGKiVConqJZvQaM45D /GomqKJrrJHDFflZlAQu =mpkF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
