Dear J,
The focus should be on your application, and configuring everything
thing around that.
If you REALLY have an out of connection problem, increase Max
Threads to 10000, but I don't
think that will really help you. The problem is usually that each
individual request takes
tooo long, which again, points back to your application - There isn't
that much to tweak
in tomcat. Once you have configured your application, then you can
start looking at the
kernel - but these only bring small % improvements.
Without more information - ie: current number of threads being used,
it is very
hard to answer your question.
Cheers
Andrew

never said
that it was serving slow. It hits connection limits which means
that the
app will not serve any more traffic until connections clear.
If a box definitely has more capacity (dual core, dual procs), then
my best
guess is that tomcat is not tuned perfectly to allow the max amount of
connections in. We have raised MaxThreads in the past to allow more
connections in. This works, but surely other knobs are important
to be
tweaked.
I am looking for good definitions and/or best practices on which
knobs to
tweak to allow the max connections in before exhausting the jvm native
memory allocation or cpu on the box.
Thanks,
J

Dear J'
What do you mean you are hitting connection limits?! Are you getting
errors? What are you seeing that makes you think that is slow?
Is there a database involved in this application?
I assume you are running linux on your server, with a 2.6 kernel.
run the following commands while your box
1) ps auxH
2) ps auxH |grep -c java
3) vmstat 5 5
4) iostat 5 3
Then we will have a bit of an idea what is going on.
