An HTTP GET, POST, etc., request from a client (usually a browser). Note that retrieval of a single web page may result in many separate requests from the client to load images, CSS files, scripts, etc. > Does it mean that when I have e.g. MaxThreads=20, 100 users > can use my webapp if only 20 of them at the same time request > data from the webapp and the others drink coffee? Yes, with restrictions. If the client maintains a keep-alive request and you're using the standard connector, a thread will be tied up for the duration. If you use the NIO or APR connectors, the thread will be released back to the pool in the keep-alive situation. Take a look at the table at the bottom of this page: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/http.html#Connector%20Com parison > Is it the same when i have session based sso login? Yes; they're independent mechanisms. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
