How much space do you save if you move that stuff out of your WAR file? Just because a JAR library is big doesn't mean that it will be loaded entirely by the server. Most people probably use only 50% or any given library (a wild-ass guess, so no one need bother asking about it). If you have 5 webapps each loading, say, struts, you're only talking about a small amount of memory being used by the class files themselves. The sharing class files will be overwhelmingly eclipsed by the amount of memory taken by instances of those classes. I agree with Peter: bundle your webapps as self-contained entities. Your deployment team will thank you. > I understand how moving the stuff into /common/lib means everything uses the > save version, but what is best for performance? If you are concerned with memory use, then use more machines. Instead of deploying 5 webapps on a single server, distribute them among more servers. Any difference in CPU use is probably immeasurable because once the classes are loaded, there should be no difference. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGaWlB9CaO5/Lv0PARAm3TAJ0a6B+w+wnOUMGN2PjWMzN/AxM5iACgjvML pgIl+4RadJBOazEREHrdyE0= =EoC2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
