Thanks for the reply Peter. I am caching these pages after they are processed, but because of the nature of the application, they are many different kinds of these pages.
Tomcat does not even throw an exception, I have allocated 128-356 mb memory. It just dies and does not response to requests. I am looking for a solution that for a certain url pattern only allows a certain number of requests to be serviced at the same time. This would solve my problem, while not affecting servicing lighter pages. Cheers, Adam.
