It's pretty simple, all under control of the attributes on the <Connector> elements in server.xml: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/http.html Each <Connector> maintains a pool of threads for servicing requests on that connection. When a request arrives, a thread from the pool is chosen (or created) and performs all the processing for that request, including calling whatever valves, filters, and servlets are in the chain. Once the request is finished, the thread returns to the pool. Look at the doc and the settings in server.xml for the limits on concurrency and number of idle threads. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
