Hi
I want to know where can I find the information regarding the performance statistics 
of Tomcat, based on which I can decide upon what deployment architecture to be 
employed for my project.
The information I want to know is the number of request Tomcat can handle and is it 
possible to load balance in case of Tomcat by use of some load balancer
Thanks
