Like any web-application, the server strength depends as much on how the application is architected and written as well as the load it will take. Everything after that is trade offs. For example - if the web app is very user specific - on login, you could load all the information about the user into memory and never query the database again for that user - but the tradeoff is your webapp is not scalable with respect to memory. But instead you could use the database for every tracnsaction - but then you need to make sure your DB design is good/effecient and your db server can handle the load since that might be the bottleneck and not your webapp.

Will Tomcat automatically detect if there is no more memeory for sessions, or do I have to configure it somehow?
I'm planning on using a Tomcat hosting service, so I have no control on the system setup or usage... they claim the servers never run at more than 20% capacity, which does sound to make it safe.
Its really tough to determine if they will meet my requirements.... its actually more difficult to predict what my requirements will be!

yes - but I have no idea what standard is and where
the database lives and how complex the pages are

Would a Tomcat server be able to handle a website
with
10,000 - 15,000 hits per day on a standard linux server? MySQL underneath.
