When upgrading from Tomcat 5.5.x to Tomcat 6.0.x I am facing performance issues.
I am using the same exact application in both versions. The application uses JSP & custom tags. Here is a quick list of the average loading time recorded (in ms) using Jmeter : Tomcat 5.5.23 : 32 Tomcat 6.0.18 / 6.0.20 : 143 When positioning the metadata-complete="true" in the web.xml file the loading are much better : Tomcat 6.0.18 / 6.0.20 : 34 Has anyone experienced the same problems with tags & Tomcat 6 ? I have also noticed that starting with Tomcat 6.0.3, no tldCache.ser is created inside the "work" directory. This file was created in Tomcat 5.5.x and 6.0.2. Could this be the reason why Tomcat 6.0.20 is much slower than Tomcat 5.5.23 ? The metadata-complete="true" parameter is not a real solution for me because I'd like to use annotations in the future and from what I have understood metadata-complete="true" stops Tomcat from scanning and injecting annotations. Thanks, Adrien
