Configuring the Thread Pool

[Enda O' Brien]

Hi,   I have recently installed tomcat 4.0, and am trying to find out how to configure the thread pool. When the server is running and I type ps –ax, I get the following process running 23 times:   /usr/local/jdk1.3.1_01/bin/i386/native_threads/java.   I have searched the web and, It seems that this is normal behavior, and that in fact tomcat does not start multiple processes, but rather it utilizes a thread pool, so that when a request comes in to your site instead of allocating a new thread, it is requested from the pool, and when tomcat is finished with the thread, it is returned to the pool.   So my question is, how do I configure the number of threads that start with Tomcat ?   I have found details of how to do this for Tomcat 3.2, but from what I understand, configuring Tomcat 4.0 is substantially different. Can anyone point me to a document that will answer my question?   Thanks in advance.   Enda.
