....i'm impressed that you have NOT to restart the container for a long time
we serve about 10 static websites from the same cocoon instance. the load
is very low (about 20-30 uniq vistors per site). commonly we have to
restart container (tomcat)..
As I said, the nouvo.ch setup is rock solid, not a very big load but serving a few thousand pages a day, a few hundred thousand hits...and running on the stock Jetty (and Cocoon 2.1.5, forgot to mention).
Nothing against Tomcat though, your mileage may vary...if something's not running reliably the important thing is to find out exactly what the failure scenario is!
We ran quite strong stress tests before going online, and this allowed us to find a few issues in our code and configurations, which certainly make a difference.
If your system crashes in normal use, there must be a way to crash it in the lab as well, where it's much easier to debug and do post-mortem analyses. Often, just running a few tens of wget loops in a shell will show problems already.
