CPU throttling and thread termination are essential for shared hosting. The only way to terminate bad application is kill VM.
.NET has Application Domains. You are able to unload it without restart of hole VM. I think it is alreadfy possible to make CPU throttling in Java and even in Tomcat. You can monitor threads and dynamically change priority. -- Best regards, Dima mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Wednesday, December 6, 2006, 7:27:37 PM, you wrote: >> From: Martin Gainty [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >> As Tomcat is OpenSource (and not proprietary) and can be >> installed on any OS (vs just 1) I dont undertand >> What is causing the number of Tomcat users to attenuate over time?
