I have some more details on my problems with the JMC. My workstation is an Ultra-5 with 512 MB of memory with about 311 MB free when running my test. I am using Solaris 8 and Netscape 4.75. My server is a Sun E3000 dual CPU with 1 GB memory. I am using a stop watch for my times and I think my times are accurate +- one second. I timed the JMC home page loading 3 times to get a decent sample base. I have commented out the default server and have the admin server + 10 of my own servers. My servers have on average 8 Web Applications each. I have verified that there is no DOCTYPE tag in any of my web.xml files. Here are the times: 2 servers: 5s, 5s, 4s 3 servers: 8s, 7s, 7s 4 servers: 10s, 10s, 10s 5 servers: 15s, 14s, 14s 6 servers: 17s, 16s, 16s 7 servers: 22s, 20s, 21s 8 servers: 28s, 28s, 28s 9 servers: 46s, 35s, 36s 10 servers: 55s, 41s, 43s 11 servers: died, 48s, died, died, 47s, 56s >From this it seems that things are acceptable (but slow) up to 8 servers and times vary after that and my browser starts dieing after 10 servers. I tried 11 servers on a Windows 98 machine, Netscape 4.77 took ~40s and IE couldn't render the pages successfully. So the problem can't be totally blamed on Netscape on Solaris even though it does seem to be much slower. Since I am adding 3 new clients in the next couple of months, the degradation of the JMC is a major concern to me and I wonder if I will even be able to log onto the JMC after adding another server or two with the degradation being what I am observing. I will try the command line interface that Charles Arehart pointed me to, but am not too sure how well that will work long term. I have been using JRun since it was from Live Software and don't want to be forced to look at other solutions, but I might have to if I can't find some work around to this problem. Maybe I'll have to do all of my admin from a Windows machine if that is my only option, but currently I don't have one of those available. Surely there must be someone else out there who is using a lot of server instances? Am I the only one doing this?
