Tomcat Production References

[Dan Turner <dt...@irise.com>]

Hi everyone,

I'm a project manager with a J2EE consulting firm in San Francisco.  Right
now I'm doing an architecture review for a major financial company out here
and one of the issues I am researching is the application server they want
to use for an intranet application (5000 hits per minute +).  

I am trying to make a case for using Tomcat instead of a commercial App
Server like Weblogic or Websphere, and I need references of Tomcat
installations running successfully with this kind of load in production.
They only use JavaBeans, Servlets and JSP, so an EJB container is not
required. 

Do anyone have/know of any projects in the USA that have successfully
implemented Tomcat as a large-scale Java application server? 

Thanks,
Dan Turner

Tomcat Production ReferencesDan,

Why not put together a demo app and perform some load testing.
We have thrown about 80,000 simultaneous request at Tomcat 3.2.1 + IIS +
JDBC-ODBC bridge + SQL Server, with no trouble. We are using connection
pooling for all database request.

You can try the e-Test suite at www.empirix.com.

Thanks,
James
