Tomcat Capacity

Hello,

Could anyone tell me how many transactions Tomcat supports simultaneously?

Thnaks,

Alvaro

There is absolutely no way to answer this question accurately.  It depends
on ALL of the following factors (plus some more that I probably haven't
thought of):

* How much memory you have

* How much of that memory you allocate to Tomcat

* How much CPU power (and how many CPUs) you have

* Which JVM you are running

* Which OS you are running

* What application you are running, and what it does

* How many requests per second your users generate

One useful source of information is benchmarks on thread handling and
message throughput for a variety of OS/JVM combinations -- the results
vary *dramatically*.  Volano (makers of Volano Chat, which is an app quite
sensitive to this kind of thing) regularly runs a series of tests, and
reports the results at <http://www.volano.com/benchmarks.html>.

Servlet containers have similar (but by no means identical) resource
requirements to a chat server, but performance tends to be dominated by
your application, not by the container.  For example, if your app requires
a database query that takes ten seconds every time, it's not going to
matter how many users the servlet container can support -- people will
quickly get frustrated and abandon your app.

Thanks. I copied the realm definition and it now works fine !

Weird... There are some tests in Watchdog/Tomcat-tester to check for that
exactly, and those pass w/ no problems with webapp... Must be a some sort of
configuration issue (did you copy your realm definition also in <Service
name="tomcat-Apache"> ???)

j_security_check & mod_webapp

Posted by Thierry Delaitre <de...@cpc.wmin.ac.uk>.
Hi,

I've successfuly recompiled mod_webapp on Solaris 7 and installed the
module with Apache 1.3. Everything works fine except that when I tried to
use form based authentication with j_security_check I cannot login when
connecting through mod_webapp. It is ok when connecting directly to tomcat
using tomcat's web server.

Do I need to add something extra to the apache config file to get
j_security_check work when using mod_webapp ?

Thanks,

Thierry.
