Hi, I noticed serious performance problems with JSF 1.2 and Tomcat which seems to be caused by Tomcat. One major performace problem is bug https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=48600 Setting metadata-complete="true" in web.xml improved the speed significantly
But there seems to be still another problem in Tomcat. I deployed the same apps to Jetty. Average results of 500 calls of a simple jsf page (jsp) with 1000 h:output tags: JSF 1.1: Tomcat 6.0.24: 26ms Jetty 7.0.1: 35ms JSF 1.2: Tomcat 6.0.24: 72ms Jetty 7.0.1: 41ms Any ideas regarding the bad performance of Tomcat with JSF 1.2? The simple page does not contain any EL expressions, just 1000 simple tags: <h:outputText value="1" style="z-index:29202;"/>. Michael
