Tomcat on Gentoo from the horse, no hear say.

Ok, not even sure where to start so I will kinda just jump in with this. I am not looking to start a flame war, or long thread. I would prefer this thread not to grow beyond this post. As there are better places, like Gentoo java mailing list, gentoo forums, irc, etc. In the Gentoo Tomcat Guide[1]

Despite your request to the contrary, this very long winded message is begging for responses. If all you wanted was for people with Gentoo packaged tomcat to contact Gentoo user's list, you should have simply requested that. On to the comments --- 1. Compiling tomcat. Why??? Java by it's

Yes, that is correct. The process for each 3 is real small, but their could be up to a million lines, potentially. I was hoping to be able to build everything into a Tomcat servlet, and be done with it. ;-) I'll do some more testing and see what I can find. Thanks for everyones help. Andre

I need to setup for a client to run a myspace-like site. My client kept asking me how many concurrent user's I can support. I really don't know the answer. We will use Apache, jk_mod, Tomcat and Oracle(clustered). We will use X86 servers with Linux. Can anyone share your experience and let me

The question is impossible to answer, since you don't tell us what a user will do :-) However, to give you an example, if your requests are somewhat normal-web-requests (producing html) than going for 100-150 per second and server should be a reasonable value. regards Leon P.S. Of course it

Don't flame, remember it's Christmas. Recompiling Java apps isn't strictly necessary but from a maintainer point of view it makes sense: they want to assure that the distribution they provide is as complete and workable as possible. That includes the ability to build, patch, integrate any

Generally in a production environment, increasing the number of threads from the default is compulsory. You need to balance that against the amount of memory that you have allocated for your JVM, which needs to be balanced against the amount of memory available in the machine. Handling concurrent

Again it depends on many parameters, not at least on your hardware. With good x86_64 hardware and with fair amount of dynamic requests, probably between 1000 and 3000 concurrent users depending on how many requests each user triggers. but of course its purely speculating, your app could serve

Hi, This is usually a problem with IE, it caches your pages for you. This might be the reason. Try doing the same in some other browser. (Firefox usually doesnt cache the pages.) If u still have the problem in other browsers, you might have to enable autoreload in tomcat to recomplie
