Throughput and scalability
Hi Tomcat Users -
We are implementing Tomcat (with Axis) for HTML translation to a
proprietary format (as a pass-thru). This is for submission to an
external system (its pretty simple data) and back again.
We were wondering if anyone has any ideas how you would size a box
(Solaris/HP-UX based) if you want to get a specific throughput (x number
of messages per second). Is there any guidelines anyone can recommend?

if you're talking about XML transformation, the biggest factor is the
parser you use and the cpu speed. If you read my old performance
article on the resource page, you can see some old numbers for AMD
2ghz system.
depending on how much XML you need to handle concurrently, you may
want to consider XML accelerators to get near wire speed. The primary
limitations for XML processing is CPU and RAM. hope that helps

Ross,
I recommend that you think along the lines of expandability.
That is, a load balancer in front of tomcat(s) running on one or
more servers. As demand increases you add more instances,
then another server. There is also the nature of the communication
with the external system to consider. It sounds like you should
profile the app at a range of loads, identify bottlenecks, and
design/specify accordingly.

I do not think that anyone can answer that but you.
It is so application specific that any answers we give would be SWAGs at best.
