QUESTION(S):

1. Are there any general philosophies to tuning Tomcat to support

2. Is there any rule of thumb for determining the appropriate number
    of open file descriptors?

If your application is already productive, use lsof (a *nix tools "list of open files", that shows you all file descriptors of chosen running processes, and what they are needed for). Or simply go to /proc/PID/fd in the proc file system (PID= process id of the process you are interested in) and list the entries of that directory. It is a virtual file system and this directory conatins one entry for each used file descritor, and in many cases usuefaul additional information (do a long listing "ls -l").

3. What costs are associated with granting higher amounts of open
    file descriptors?

Actually not sure. In case those file descriptors mostly come from network connections, don't forget the buffers associated with each such connection.

Rainer
