In Tomcat 6 we have the Comet servlet, you would have to use 6.0.x
trunk, since there is a connection reuse bug in 6.0.14

Hi Filip,
The reason I want to use more threads is because of the nature of our AJAX
client. 'Sleeping' threads on the server seems like a viable option
compared to polling, and therefore I'm wondering how many threads to use.
Other options include Jetty 6 'Continuation' or equivalents -
http://blogs.webtide.com/gregw/2006/07/25/1153845234453.html to handle this
problem. I'd prefer to stick with Tomcat if it is scalable with AJAX
clients that require a lot of talk between client-server.
Regards,
Mike

Threads in hundreds, or lower one thousand is ok, if you need more,
question yourself :)
ie, if you need more concurrency, simply turn of keep alives.
Having too many threads will do the following
1. Eat up a good chunk of memory
2. Your system will spend too much time context switching

Hi,
I'd like to know if there are any gotchas from increasing maxThreads
well
beyond the standard 150. For instance, on a new Dell 1950 dual-core
with
4GB RAM, why not try 300 or even thousands of threads? I will be
putting
Lighty or Apache in front of Tomcat, which is also a potential
bottleneck.
Thanks for your time,
