I would recommend to load test your application and runtime environment, first. I would get two or more production like servers, and write a load test specifically geared toward your application. Number of tools are available for this. From the open source world, I would try JMeter, Grinder, Solex (eclipse plugin) or even HttpUnit. Once you have your load test, I would play with different Tomcat configurations. Do not forget that sometimes the garbage collection settings are quite important. I would try with at least two or three gc algorithms. So, finding system requirements is quite a project. Of course, if you application is not mission critical, I would not bother. Just get a regular AMD64/Pentium Server with at least 2MB, install a tomcat with 512mb heap, put a decent load balancer at front of it and you are done. - Stefan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
