It just says that each request will be handled by a separate thread. That doesn't mean that a thread will be created for each request. Most app servers will use thread pools and re-use threads since they are relatively heavy to just create and discard all the time. > How can I limit the number of thread that tomcat spawn for my servlet > simultaneously? Tomcat's connector specifies the number of threads that will be created for request handling. Check out the documentation for the Tomcat connectors: HTTP: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/http.html AJP: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/ajp.html (Note that these are for TC 5.5, so if you are using a different version, you should use the documentation appropriate for that version). Specifically, look for settings including the word "thread", as well as the "backlog" setting. Actually, it's worth reading the whole thing. > And let say if I limit the simulaneous thread for my servlet to 10, what > happens to the 11th request? Will it get dropped? Or Will it get queued? That depends on other settings (such as "backlog"). The links above should explain everything. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGVzhm9CaO5/Lv0PARAg1IAKC/WUCTjImVABuLokG2NISNypudYQCgl595 ahSYbdx7XAHe27TCPtGaqo4= =iBTq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
