Hi,
Windows 2003 Server R2 SP2
Apache Tomcat/5.5.23
JVM 1.5.0_12-b04
We are using a reporting product written in Java 1.4 from another vendor
that integrates into our web application via frames and URL requests.
We have been noticing various performance & stability related issues
(i.e. slow performance, degraded performance, and stability of Apache).
My first thought is I do not have Apache configured optimally to (a) run
at an enterprise service level and (2) work with this webapp from the
vendor optimally. I believe that (a) our web interface, (b) our network
and (c) the 3rd party product are all ok. I do come from a non-Java
background so some of this is rather new to me. Can anyone suggestion
pointers or references that can discuss (a) the various configuration
options for running Apache Tomcat as a windows service and (b) options
for Apache Tomcat to run optimally with a specific webapp.
Just as an FYI, the server this runs on is a HP ProLiant BL20p G4 server
blade. Looking at this server and seeing the issues I stated above I
really think I need to configure Apache differently since the machine
can obviously handle it. Also, is there some sort of "server" type mode
for Apache to run in that will allow me to make use of more than 1.5 GB
of memory?
Thanks,
Tony Fountain
