Title: Tomcat Production References

Dan,

 

Why not put together a demo app and perform some load testing.

We have thrown about 80,000 simultaneous request at Tomcat 3.2.1 + IIS +

JDBC-ODBC bridge + SQL Server, with no trouble. We are using connection

pooling for all database request.

 

You can try the e-Test suite at www.empirix.com.

 

Thanks,

James

Subject: Tomcat Production References

Hi everyone,

I'm a project manager with a J2EE consulting firm in San Francisco.  Right now I'm doing an architecture review for a major financial company out here and one of the issues I am researching is the application server they want to use for an intranet application (5000 hits per minute +). 

I am trying to make a case for using Tomcat instead of a commercial App Server like Weblogic or Websphere, and I need references of Tomcat installations running successfully with this kind of load in production.  They only use JavaBeans, Servlets and JSP, so an EJB container is not required.

Do anyone have/know of any projects in the USA that have successfully implemented Tomcat as a large-scale Java application server?

Thanks,
Dan Turner
