Hi All,

We are to measure and record statics for a web-site, for a 10,000 user load. we 
have to measure CPU, Memory, etc. But this site accepts only unique logins. So 
we have written a small java application using servlets and jsps to retrive a 
user-name/pwd pair every time a user logs in. This application is hosted on a 
JBoss server. In short, before a virtual user logs in to the application under 
test , he actually retrieves a user-name/pwd pair, and uses these credentials 
to log in to the application under test. This application which gives out 
user-names/pwd pairs is deployed on JBoss( A list of 10,000 uid/pwds are 
maintained in a .csv file).A servlet reads a line at a time and gives it to the 
user. Since we cannot log in 10,000 users at the same time, we are ramping up 
50 users every minute. So there are 50 hits on the the servlet(deployed on 
JBoss) every minute. Till the first 50 users are ramped up, JBoss performs 
flawlessly  returning uid/pwd pair, but as users  are ramped u!
 p, it starts giving out blank lines ever now and then. As more users are 
ramped up, more of these lines appear. The file object the servlet opens is not 
being closed, because file open-close is a very resource intensive operation. 
So once a file is opened, its object is closed only when EOF is reached. We are 
using 200 different machines as load generatods, there by generating a load a 
50 users per machine. All machines are 512 RAM, 40 GB hard-drives, Pentium 4 at 
3.0 giga Hertz. Java Version 1.5.0_05. JBoss Version 4.0.2.

My question is this : Is there some setting in JBoss that i can tweak so that 
it can accept more incoming connections, if that is what the problem is? I 
would also like suggestions so as to understand why this might be happening and 
how i can avoid it?
