Tomcat does not honor acceptCount configuration variable

[Timir Hazarika]

Folks,

What is the best way to limit connections in tomcat, if there is one ? I
have tried acceptCount, maxThreads, even specifying explicit executor - but
in vain.

    <Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
               connectionTimeout="20000"
               redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="5" maxThreads="5" />

Thanks in advance,
Timir
