My company has run Tomcat apps on Amazon's EC2 that have exceeded 1,500 hits per *second*. We use Amazon's load balancer in front of a variable number of Tomcat instances (each on their own EC2 instance). For 1,500 hits per day you probably only need one small EC2 instance running a single Tomcat.

I totally agree with Michel. We developed a JSF 2.0 application using Tomcat as the web container. Tomcat is as stable as the application you develop. The system we develop hosts a RIA application based on ICEFaces for almost 5000 users and after a lot of debugging and jvm fine tunning, we now have

I think that maybe you are mixing up stability and scalability. While they are connected, an unstable system can fail at low volume. Also, I don't think that 1500 hits a day is that much. Michel - Original Message - From: "Yawar Khan" To: "Tomcat Users" Sent: Saturday, August 21

Concerning my experience: no stability issues with either 1.4.2 or 1.5, as long as you stick to a reasonably new patch level (not the one, which might be only a week old, but the newest one older than a month should be perfect). Dima Retov schrieb: > Thanks Dave. > > What version of JVM have you
