Sorry, this is pragmatic, but might not be too helpful. It's the long form of the consultant's standard answer "it depends".

Unless the application is doing something very strange, I'd be surprised if there was much mileage in Tomcat specific tuning. Most issues are in the app. Mark - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
Latest Best Practices for Tomcat Tuning
Hi Experts, I know that if you Google 'Tomcat Tuning' you will get some hits (ex. https://www.mulesoft.com/tcat/tomcat-performance) but I would like to see if we can have a discussion of best practices for Tomcat tuning from the group of experts here. Is there an updated top 10 list or something similar or what people have found have greatly helped their performance. Note that I have looked through the archives but most of the hits I get date back 10 years. My personal situation is I'm running Tomcat 8.5.x on Windows with a third party application. Since it is a third party application I feel I can't open up the actual coding itself so I'm left to tune around the margins (ex. Parameters in service.bat, maybe try to switch our odbc.jar to a different one, etc) but maybe I'm wrong. Basically, is there an updated list of best practices that we can discuss here or is this not the appropriate venue. I'm looking for a more generic conversation that would benefit all users on this forum and if it helps me personally then of course that is great! Or is the answer always get the stack dumps and analyze from there. : ) Thanks in advance --- CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This message is for intended addressee(s) only and may contain information that is confidential, proprietary or exempt from disclosure.
