Hi Chris, I used Tomcat separately because JBoss was always somewhat behind the current production version of Tomcat. Eventually I will remove JBoss and use JDBC from Tomcat to my database to reduce memory footprint and improve performance. I am only using EJB's in JBoss right now.
Best practice regarding memory settings is set the min.max to be the same so the CPU is not busy allocating memory. There are other settings one can use just trial and error or keep testing till you get the best configuration for your app. I know each jvm release gets better so less tuning is needed as what I think you are trying to say. I went up to 1,000 client threads before I stopped. Since I met my first goal I like to get 10X better on the next one if possible and from what you told me I might be able to make it. I can get close if I went to a i7 980 or Sandy Bridge system instead of the slower AMD processor. To me that is cheating since I believe through tuning and code changes one should be able to get there. I will look for the pdf again if it is the one I am thinking of for ApacheHttp commons testing then I am on the same track regarding setup and usage of the client program.

Do you mean you are using Tomcat out in front of JBoss? Why not just use JBoss directly? That'll probably buy you more than any other configuration change. > I currently am using 200MB xmx, xms, -server, NUMA, and set my new generation >to > > be large since my objects are short lived.

Generally speaking, you should let the GC configure itself unless you really know what you are doing or have to work around some specific problem. > I am very curious how you got 50K requests per second. You'll have to be more specific. Do you mean in my performance tests? Which one? Did you read all of the setup info in the earlier slides? > I can get 1K per second on my AMD 6 core system.
