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 khanya...@yahoo.com To: Tomcat Users

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

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 also know a couple of instances which ran under high load for a couple of months. Usually though the frequency for changes in the apps are higher than that. Be careful: I would avoid hot deployment in critical production. Also: It's not totally unusual for apps to have memory leaks. So minotor

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

Dima, Please don't steal threads. Start a new one next time. How stable is tomcat with Sun's HotSpot JVM 1.5? How stable is tomcat against apache or other webservers? They are not directly comparable (Apache httpd and Tomcat) as Tomcat does things Apache httpd cannot do, and vice versa.
