Hi, For the activity seen in the last weeks it seems definitely clear that Comet is hot topic.
Anyways, I've been playing now for some days with Tomcat 6 and Comet. No substantial tomcat related problems as far as I know, so great job. My scenario is quite simple. A desktop application opens a persistent connection with a web application. This web application holds the connection open and streams objects to the client. When the client receives 1000 instances of these objects the connection is closed. Ok, so my question is, has anyone performed any stats about the number of connections that can be hold in scenarios like these? I´m currently trying to find the maximum number of connections that a given server (sorry now at home and don´t remember the concrete numbers) can support changing the number of available threads. Until this point I found that with only 1 thread tomcat seems being able to manage 700 persistent connections (again based in that concrete configuration). I will be still doing work around topics like this the next days but I really would like to know people experiences about comet and what we can expect from it regarding scalability. Kind regards, Martin
