Well, there could be loads of trouble in a Tomcat! Normally it isn't just the Tomcat performing badly, the most common problem is design and code problems. You can gain 10-20% performance by tweaking Tomcat but that doesn't sound like it's enough to solve your problem. To me your problem sounds like a threadding problem!
Are you using SingleThreadModel on the servlets (Don't) ? Are any of the service() (also doPost, doGet ect.) methods synchronized ? Do you use the session object for storing large amounts of data (don't) ? How many DB connections do you have ? What's the threadcount ? Don't mind that it's about WebSphere, the general principles are the same.: http://www-3.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/ws_bestpractices.pdf A little more light entertainment : http://www.fawcette.com/javapro/2002_08/online/servletsjsp_08_06_02/Java%20Servlets%20Ch16.pdf Regards Kleth ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Kristian A.
