Hi, Using Tomcat for the first time:

[Andrew Stewart <An...@megastation.com>]

and I have to say I am impressed so far

I've tried three other Java VM's and have had very dissapointing
experiences with them (Caucho's Resin, NA's ServletExec, and Allaire's
JRun).

Anyway, one of the few questions I'd like to ask is if there's anyway to
control the number of threads (or workers) that come up when Tomcat is
run.

I tried looking for a setting something like MinServers / MaxServers
akin to Apache but no dice, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, there are max_threads, min_spare_threads and max_spare_threads.
See:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/jakarta-tomcat/src/doc/uguide/tomcat_ug.html
under 'Configuring thread pools'

Example:
<Connector className="org.apache.tomcat.service.PoolTcpConnector">
<Parameter name="handler"
value="org.apache.tomcat.service.http.HttpConnectionHandler"/>
<Parameter name="port" value="80"/>
<Parameter name="max_threads" value="5" />
<Parameter name="min_spare_threads" value="2" />
</Connector>
