Hi, I have tried to find the simplest of answer from so many tomcat forums but have not got concrete answer to my query. The query I have is around management of multiple HTTP requests triggering from same browser one after other and being served by Tomcat container.
Let me take an example. Let's say I hit http://localhost:9001/homepage.html. Upon hitting the URL, tomcat will assign one of the worker threads (say Thread 1) from the pool to the HTTP request which will be processed and then response will be sent to the client. Now if I hit a link on homepage which is for login, a separate HTTP request will be initiated from the same browser. What I want to understand is if the Tomcat will keep Thread 1 as persistent thread to server the second request (for login) from the same browser or will it assign a separate thread from the pool ? If I look at my server logs for both the requests from client, the thread id remains the same which gives me a feeling the state of HTTP is persistent and till the time browser is not closed, the thread won't be returned to the pool. Please can someone clarify the above behavior. Note: I need to configure the maxThreads setting of Tomcat to support 20,000 concurrent users in the system. The above clarification will help me pick the appropriate setting for maxThreads.
