With Tomcat 5.x, it's ok, it will just use more memory. With 4.x, it's bad (one background thread per context = 300 background threads). > 2. Are there any scalability issues of which I should be aware? - You might have tons of sessions, so increase the VM's memory - And the usual: one application doing bad things could take the whole server down, which will be a lot more noticeable for users -- xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Rémy Maucherat Developer & Consultant JBoss Group (Europe) SàRL xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
