I would say this ought to be done at the lb level: you want all your webapp's code to be devoted to serving requests, not deciding whether or not to serve them. If you don't have a load-balancer or anything like that, you can fake one using httpd (okay, you can call that a lb, but that's really using a web server for lb, not actually having an lb). Anyhow, if you configure httpd to have more request processors than Tomcat (say, allow 300,000 requests to http but only 250,000 requests to TOmcat - that seems high... do you mean 250k simultaneous requests, or 250k active users all logged-in?) then you can configure mod_jk or mod_proxy to show an error page when the connections fail. It's not particularly elegant, but it should work. If your problem is that, after 250k active logins, your server starts to become unresponsive, then the solution is much different: keep a semi-accurate session count and then write a filter that checks the session count to see if it's "too high". If so, and the request doesn't have an associated session/login already, then redirect the user to a page that says "sorry, come back later". Remember to ignore that particular page in your filter :) - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAksiZkYACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PC9BQCeKS4g+qCYvOGRDDI/hGS5vR/z av8AoIlr8rTEIrZC0Oot2r6kQfyGL29w =uU7c -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
