if you have your database caching worked out (if you cache db objects)
then adding more memory is also easy by placing more servers and use sticky
sessions that are round robin assigned to servers
you also then have fail over "for free"
the biggest bottleneck will be the database and the right caching strategy
for that.

There are often scalability talks about wicket and several users
(thousands). The fact is that Wicket is a tempting framework to use for any
project even websites and not neccesarily intranet applications. Now we all
know that Wicket uses session heaviliy making it memory demanding. But my
question is, Can having lots of memory and multiple processors solve the
problem. if the limitation for wicket is just how much memory we have, then
having more memory should solve the problem isnt? For a hopefully say 5,000
- 10,000 concurrent user stuff, can a high end dedicated server option cover
this?
I once read that Tomcat 6 latest can scale up to 16,000 concurrent
connections <http://blog.covalent.net/roller/covalent/entry/20070308>. In
what way can this make this container great for a framework like wicket.
In my company , we built a really nice employment exchange with wicket and
we cant wait to launch it. But we need to know that assuming one sticks to
the best design practice of wicket (using detachable models everywhere and
stateless pages where necessary), is it so much memory and processors we
need to buy to make it worth it or what?
I really hope for any assisance i can get on this
Thanks
Present Platform - Java 6
Present Container - Tomcat 6
Present Wicket - Wicket 1.2.4
