First, the 16000 sessions for a server is a highly theoretical. I can't imagine single machine that would be able to handle 16000 concurrent request (while of course doing some meaningfull processing, like updating database...)
With Wicket 1.3, stating that memory is the scalability blocker is nothing but an urban myth :) With second level cache session store I was able to handle 500 parallels sessions on 64MB heap - you can do the math. Wicket both scales-up and scales-out (terracotta clustering, or even normal session replication, as the session is rather small with 1.3). -Matej On 4/18/07, Ayodeji Aladejebi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > There are often scalability talks about wicket and several users > (thousands).
