Performance -- Tomcat Standalone v. Apache/Tomcat

[Andrew Reid <an...@plug.cx>]

Hello All,

I'm currently working at a company where we're writing a Java
application (JSP and Servlets -- Forgive my terminology, I'm not a Java
person).

We're currently using the Tomcat that comes with J2EE, but that seems to
have performance issues after it serves about 3 simultanious
connections.

I'm currently setting up Tomcat and then Apache/Tomcat to do some
performance testing. We're looking for about 20 simultanious connections
without too much difference in response time.

The hardware that it is running on is a PIII 800, 256MB RAM, Software
RAID-1.

The Oracle server where the data is stored is a two-way Sun E250, with
2GB RAM (I believe).

It appears that the main problem is the Tomcat included with J2EE. I was
wondering if anyone was able to give me an indication of what would
perform better, as a general rule.

Your help is appreciated.

Would you say that Tomcat standalone is generally faster (for servlets
and JSP) than Apache+Tomcat?

If you are only running servlets and jsp, try tomcat standalone, that is,
without j2ee.  The performance is perfectly adequate IMHO

That is, what would be better between Apache/Tomcat and Tomcat stand
alone.
