MAX Simultaneous connections with Tomcat on Windows XP Pro
All,
This has been troubling me for some time now. and I don't have an answer to
it.
We all know that IIS and XP Pro have a 10 concurrent connection limit .
If I am using Apache Tomcat on XP Pro, do I still have this limit on the
connections?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Arijit S.

The only limits are resource limits (memory, cpu, network bandwidth,
etc) if you hit it with a lot of connections at a time, and what you
configure in tc's config files in order to control the performance and
stay within those resource limits (threads, mainly).

Interesting:
"
For Windows XP Professional, the maximum number of other computers that
are permitted to simultaneously connect over the network is ten. This
limit includes all transports and resource sharing protocols /combined/.
"

I'm pretty sure that's true, although if you were using the ISAPI
redirector to connect Tomcat to IIS, you could almost certainly be
subject to these connection limits.

This link on Microsoft specifies this very issue..
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314882
It also says
" The connection limit refers to the number of redirector-based connections and is enforced for any file, print, named pipe, or mail slot session. The TCP connection limit is not enforced, but it may be bound by legal agreement to not permit more than 10 clients. "
Doesn’t this solidify our point that the connection limit is not for Http connections?
If used with IIS (a Microsoft product), it might be possible that they are enforcing this limit on IIS too. But with Tomcat we should be ok.. What say ?

Yes. We have run into that issue ourselves. It's handled the same as
if a server had been trying to handle more connections than it was
licensed for. This definitely includes IIS clients and SMB shares. I
don't know if it also includes microsoft ftp and e-mail connections, but
it may (probably does, in fact).

I have seen claims that it also affects IIS connections. Is it just that
anything server-related that Microsoft sells is limited to 10 (total?
per package?) connections when running on a non-"server"-branded version
of Windows?

There are no limits imposed by XP's license - XP's 10-connection limit applies only to it acting as a SMB server, and doesn't affect anything else. Tomcat also doesn't impose any limits due to licensing.
Of course, you may still hit limits due to memory use, processor use, network bandwidth etc, number of concurrent sockets open etc..., but they're the standard ones you'd encounter on any operating system.

WOW!! That was fast..
So If I have an web application deployed on tomcat and windows XP pro,
theoretically, unlimited users can connect to the application
simultaneously?
Tomcat or Windows XP does not place any limits to that?
If that is true... it would be really pleasing to my ears...

No, because they're a different kind of connection.
