Tomcat caching

[Andreas Haufler <ah...@hisl.de>]

Hi everybody,

I just wanted to ask, if tomcat does caching of static contents like
html pages or images, and if yes, how the size of this cache can be set.

per default: no, but on a not-windows machine caching of static files
isn't  really needed, since the filesystem cache works very well.
However, if your amount of static content is larger then the
filesystem cache is, or you can see through measures that caching
would improve performance i would strongly suggest you look into
outsourcing the static content to a fast http server which is
specialized on content delivery like lighthttpd.
By the way, if your amount of html pages is fair (hundreds, not
thousands), make them jsp. Jsps are classes and therefore a) resides
in memory, b) are written through the jspwriter which is faster than
the servlet writer.

Leon
