You can't strictly cap the total number of threads created by tomcat, as most of them are not under your control. That's the same as any app server. However, you can take some measurements to reduce the number of threads: - Don't have reloadable contexts if you don't need them - Remove the examples webapp and context >Any insights will be appreciated. If you're worried about the number of threads, you're in a good spot. There are a several things that would crash first under a heavy load, before the number of threads becomes an issue ;) Don't use the linux "top" command as an accurate measurement of the number of threads in the VM, as the JVM thread to OS thread mapping can be more than one to one. Use ulimit or whatever your system's equivalent is to raise the max number of threads allowed for the user that runs tomcat.
