Hi,
we run apache soap 2.2 on tomcat 3.2.2 and we have no performance problems.
We ran a lot of performance and load testing on our server and came up with
the following conclusions.
First of all Tomat is a java application and it requires a lot of memory to
handle larger loads.
So make sure you got enough memory, we run with 512mb ram on a win2000
installation.
Secondly you must configure your Tomcat installation according to the
expected server load. For instance you might need to increase the number of
threads in the thread pool handling http connections. All this is documented
pretty well in your tomcat_dir/doc/uguide/tomcat_ug.html under the section:
Real World Configuration Tips.
Third you can pass alot of parameters to the jvm, read your java vm's doc.
Lastly make sure you have checked you own code for optimizations, there are
several things that can boost performance, but that is a to big a subject
for me to take up now.
Regards, Bjorn
