Depends entirely on your app. I've worked on one app (http://bodington.org) where that configuration would be able to support hundreds of concurrently-logged-in users, and is currently deployed at several major UK universities (behind Apache - see below). > What is reasonable? Unknowable without much more detail about your app. Your only way of finding out is to profile. Configure a test blade, get hold of a load-testing tool such as Jmeter, devise a benchmark load, and keep upping the number of threads running that load until the app fails to respond to all requests! > 3. Any other issues to consider? Several subscribers to this list do not consider Tomcat secure enough to be exposed directly to the Internet, preferring to use Apache as a front-end. This will reduce throughput and increase configuration complexity, but can provide increased security. For example, all of the public Bodington sites are behind Apache. - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
