Martha, We have been using a supported version of Liferay (Liferay EE) for over 2 years now and have not had any problems. Currently we are on IBM JRE 1.7 and 1.6 on a dev server. We use tomcat as provided by SLES 11 SP2 and SP3. When you say 'falls over badly', can you elaborate as to what the actual problem is?
By the way, I can safely say that few other vendors come close to the type of support Liferay provides if you sign up for a support contract, both in terms of speed and knowledge. We have been very happy with them fixing bugs quickly and providing patches sometimes within days. Feel free to contact me off list if you like.

It works fine under a normal workload, but falls over badly when under a heavy load such as during class add/drop. The portal is running open source software named LifeRay on top of TomCat on SLES 11 SP1. We know there is a lot of tuning that needs to be done, but there are a ton of variables to consider. If anyone on the list has any experience tuning this sort of environment, i.e. Java without Websphere, we would love to talk with you. Please drop me a note.
