Java will use as much as you let it. The amount of memory is dependent more on your app. than Tomcat. You can write inefficient code that will kill any platform or you can write very efficient code that will hardly tax the system. Tomcat itself does not require that much to run. You should also consult the documentation for the garbage collector in the version of the JVM you are using for settings to control how much memory to allocate, grow by, and parameters for when to garbage collect.

I have to define the budget for the environment for a solution to serve 1000-3000 concurrent users. Which hardware should I buy, XEON Server Processor(s)? Ram? I want to use Linux. Please give me an hint. Thanks Bob --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
