RE: Please help me improve my question skills (number of tomcat a pps)

Maybe you'd better check this
<http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html>  first or, still
better, ask at The Tomcat Developer List, which can be subscribed here
<http://jakarta.apache.org/site/mail2.html> . The guys there might know.
That's all I can do for you, mate.

Subject: Please help me improve my question skills (number of tomcat apps)
 
I have submitted the following question and received no response.  I know
this isn't a technical problem, but I was hoping for responses from real
developers.  I thought it was a simple question, and have always received
excellent and quick responses from the tomcat mail list in the past, so the
problem must be with me or the way I am asking.
 
Can someone please help me improve myself?  Is this a stupid question?  Have
I perhaps asked it incorrectly?  I am open and receptive to any constructive
criticism available (I can take it, but maybe you could send a direct
response if you want to be extremely brutal?!)
 
All I really want to know is how many applications real developers are
putting on one machine in the real world. I am just looking for an abstract
number, and I am not worried about system configurations at this time.
 
Thanks!
 
 
ORIGINAL QUESTION:
 
I am doing some Tomcat cost/benefit projections for my company.  I need to
determine the maximum number of applications that will run on Tomcat and
still provide stable performance.  I am not interested in a theoretical
number at this time, just seeking information about what real developers are
actually doing with real applications.  
 
At this time, I am not interested in what machine types, OSs,
configurations, versions, are being used.  I understand the answer to my
questions will depend heavily on these issues as well as on the applications
themselves.  I just need to come up with a realistic number of
instances/apps which are being run on a single machine by real users. I am
seeking an answer to the following two questions:
 
Number of Tomcat instances I am running on one machine:
 
Number of individual applications I am running in all instances of Tomcat on
one machine:
 
Please feel free to respond to the mail list, or to me directly at
knutsenjeffreys@johndeere.com (if we don't want to clog the list with
answers to this question).  I will post a final resolution message to the
mail list when I have come to some sort of conclusion.
 
Thanks in advance for your help!
