Tomcat session/load capacity?
How many simulataneous sessions can Tomcat handle and
is it configurable?
Would a Tomcat server be able to handle a website with
10,000 - 15,000 hits per day on a standard linux
server? MySQL underneath.

Nope. You can an OOM exception. Because there is no way to detect in a JVM
when you'll run out of memory.
Like any web-application, the server strength depends as much on how the
application is architected and written as well as the load it will take.
Everything after that is trade offs. For example - if the web app is very
user specific - on login, you could load all the information about the user
into memory and never query the database again for that user - but the
tradeoff is your webapp is not scalable with respect to memory. But instead
you could use the database for every tracnsaction - but then you need to make
sure your DB design is good/effecient and your db server can handle the load
since that might be the bottleneck and not your webapp.

Will Tomcat automatically detect if there is no more
memeory for sessions, or do I have to configure it
somehow?
I'm planning on using a Tomcat hosting service, so I
have no control on the system setup or usage... they
claim the servers never run at more than 20% capacity,
which does sound to make it safe.
Its really tough to determine if they will meet my
requirements.... its actually more difficult to
predict what my requirements will be!

session
yes - but I have no idea what standard is and where the database lives and
how complex the pages are
