Camel proxy through Tomcat Servlet tunning

[Emmanouil Gkatziouras]

Greetings

I had success on creating a camel http proxy that receives data from a 
tomcat
servlet (using http://camel.apache.org/servlet-tomcat-example.html) 
<http://camel.apache.org/servlet-tomcat-example.html>and redirects the 
request to another url.

I am concerned about the throughput and the configurations that should 
be applied.

Considering the fact that a servlet is called by many threads, in order 
to create the proxy I changed the http client configuration and replaced 
the the BasicHttpClientConnectionManager (which is thread safe), with 
the PoolingClientConnectionManager. However throughput is low. Is there 
any other solution to increase the throughput(for example increasing 
camels pool size)? Also are there any other thread safe classes or 
resources that I should take into consideration?

Thank you
