Maybe you'd better check this <http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html> first or, still better, ask at The Tomcat Developer List, which can be subscribed here <http://jakarta.apache.org/site/mail2.html> . The guys there might know. That's all I can do for you, mate. tom -----Original Message----- From: Knutsen Jeffrey S [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, June 10, 2002 3:49 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Please help me improve my question skills (number of tomcat apps) I have submitted the following question and received no response. I know this isn't a technical problem, but I was hoping for responses from real developers. I thought it was a simple question, and have always received excellent and quick responses from the tomcat mail list in the past, so the problem must be with me or the way I am asking. Can someone please help me improve myself? Is this a stupid question? Have I perhaps asked it incorrectly? I am open and receptive to any constructive criticism available (I can take it, but maybe you could send a direct response if you want to be extremely brutal?!) All I really want to know is how many applications real developers are putting on one machine in the real world. I am just looking for an abstract number, and I am not worried about system configurations at this time. Thanks! ORIGINAL QUESTION: I am doing some Tomcat cost/benefit projections for my company. I need to determine the maximum number of applications that will run on Tomcat and still provide stable performance. I am not interested in a theoretical number at this time, just seeking information about what real developers are actually doing with real applications. At this time, I am not interested in what machine types, OSs, configurations, versions, are being used. I understand the answer to my questions will depend heavily on these issues as well as on the applications themselves. I just need to come up with a realistic number of instances/apps which are being run on a single machine by real users. I am seeking an answer to the following two questions: Number of Tomcat instances I am running on one machine: Number of individual applications I am running in all instances of Tomcat on one machine: Please feel free to respond to the mail list, or to me directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] (if we don't want to clog the list with answers to this question). I will post a final resolution message to the mail list when I have come to some sort of conclusion.
