Hello,

OpenSta seems to be a good harness test with multiple client. You can find
it at http://sourceforge.net/projects/opensta/

Jason -

I am attempting to generate some server performance numbers as well.  What
tool would you recommend to test TOMCAT vs. WebLogic JRun et al.???

If you can point me in the right direction for a good test harness to
plug-in I would be very grateful.

Thank you for your time and consideration of this matter.

I wrote up a text file about benchmarking and comparing Tomcat-4.0-M5
(pre-release)
and Apache 1.3.12.  It's attached to this message.  I wrote it for
anyone who is interested
(even non-Java-saavy people) to know how the raw content serving
performance of
Catalina and its built-in web server compares to that of Apache 1.3.12.
It contains lots of
information to help people understand some of the important differences
between the two
servers.

Feedback, flames, reproduced test results, etc. are welcome!  :)

Cheers.

Hi there Chris.

You can certainly do just what I did, use ApacheBench and see what numbers
you get with each server.  There's also another tester called Apache JMeter,
which will show you graphical views of the tests as they're happening.  
JMeter
has some bugs, but it's good anyway.  You can find it here:

http://java.apache.org/jmeter/index.html

Try that out too.  And, it would be great if you could share your results,
even if you don't go into the depth about your tests as I did..

Have fun!

AW: Benchmarks: Catalina M5 vs. Apache 1.3.12

2000-12-05 Thread Juergen Fey

Hi,

The notion of "tomcat is fast enough" used to be a dream but we`re
getting there.

I am going to run a few big sites on a combo of apache and tomcat, since
there are a lot of PHP and mod_perl scripts in use. That means that for
a given period of time Apache needs to sit in front of Tomcat to do
a lot of work. This amount of work gets smaller and smaller during
a period of about 12 months. Plans are to shift slowly to Servlets/JSP
only, buts its not easy to get the right programmers for that purpose.

In this timeframe we hopefully will see further improvements in regards
to stability and performance of tomcat. And i personally hope that
the unofficial battle between all the versions of tomcat (3.1, 3.2, 4.x)
will improve the overall quality of Tomcat but finally end up in just one
version.

Tomcat is already the only server for the intranet application server
which runs an publishing/content management system. Here we see an
performance of up to 25-35 request/s (500 MHz Pii, Suse Linux, 512 MByte,
IBM JDK 1.3)
including an XML-RPC protocol, which is reason for quite an hefty overhead
but its worth it.

The real server will have an 1 Gz CPU and 1 GByte of RAM so i expect some
more
possible request/s.

may I suggest the same test against the tomcat 3.2 release ;-)

I'm glad it's not too bad (right now the static file serving is very badly
optimized). There are some optimizations in, but we also do lots of unnecessary
IO operations for each request.
We won't do further optimizations on this before TC 4.0 is released, because we
might get rid of the whole resources package after 4.0 (more on this after M5 is
out).
