Hello Team and Tomcat users, I am trying to gather more information and the effect of parameter "sessionCacheSize" in server.xml for a ssl connector. I see this from the documentation "The number of SSL sessions to maintain in the session cache." If i do not add this parameter...my tomcat slows down and all the web access becomes extremly slow within a couple of days. This is because by default "0" size is assigned to this parameter which means unlimited cached sessions. So we added the parameter with the value of sessionCacheSize=10000 What is the effect of 10k cached session on tomcat, can the problem reoccur once 10k sessions are cached back. I am planning to modify it to test this with a value of sessionCacheSize=1. How can I test to come to a good value for sessioncachesize.
My product is using tomcat 7.0.81 (bio connector) with openjdk1.7.0.161 on Linux RedHat 6. -Thanks Utkarsh
