Usually no, and that renders the second part of your question irrelevant. >If I keep Min_no_of_threads = Max_no_of_threads = 20, then can I assume >that Tomcat >will always use 20 threads? No. You have to be more precise: are you talking about request processing threads, or all threads in the server? You have control over the former by using the minProcessors and maxProcessors parameters of a <Connector> element. The latter you don't control. Lazy/greedy creation, destruction of idle threads has been discussed in the past: you can search the archives for more information. Better yet, if you read the source and have a gee-whiz enhancement, contribute it ;) Yoav Shapira This e-mail, including any attachments, is a confidential business communication, and may contain information that is confidential, proprietary and/or privileged.
