Sorry for bothering you, To examine if things going on either in JMeter or at the network, I tested same config (BIO,20,20,10) on Jetty. All 70 requests returned successfully and response time was ~20 seconds for all, as I expects. Then to make myself sure, I tested same servlet but a sync one (removed my own thread pool and asyncStart etc) on Jetty. Average response time increased to 95s, as I expected. > The first 20 requests (10 seconds) are accepted and processed by Tomcat. > The 21st request is accepted but then the acceptor blocks waiting for > the connection count to reduce below 20 before proceeding. > You have forgot. My configuration is maxThreads=maxConnections=20 (not 10) and acceptCount=10. As it prints "Container MAX used threads: 10" so it never reaches maxThreads. So why acceptor blocks ?! I think although I have an async servlet and own thread pool, and although time consuming process (Thread.sleep) is inside my own thread pool, but Tomcat's container thread wrongly does not back to thread pool and fails to satisfy Servlet 3's async API! > Requests 22 to 31 are placed in the accept queue.

As I said, max Tomcat container's threads used by my APP is 10 (half of initial size 20) so why I see rejected requests while thread pool has 10 free threads to accept new requests ?! > The other question is why maxThreads is reported as it is. > > The answer is that the thread pool never grows beyond its initial size > of 10.
