Thanks for all of the posts. The one about using Tomcat 3.3 was great. I will just keep using the defaults. A few MB here or there is not a big concern to me.
Thanks for all of the great input.

If you aren't using JSP, you can de-configure the JspServlet in conf/context.xml (note this will disable JSP across all applications deployed in Tomcat, not just one application). But the JspServlet isn't really taking up much in the way of resources when it's never being used. I'm not sure you would be able to see any difference in heap usage if you de-configured that. If you disable much of the JAR-scanning, you may be able to save some heap if you never use any of the auto-configuring resources, etc. But Tomcat is quite lean-and-mean in its default configuration. Last time I checked, it takes about 12MiB of heap to run Tomcat with nothing but a trivial ROOT application deployed. Is there anything in particular that you are trying to reduce? -chris --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
