I'm trying to understand how a single instance of Tomcat manages sessions. Is there any pooling/recycling of sesssion objects or are they created/destroyed as required? If they are pooled, is the size of this pool configurable? Also where can I find some good documentation on managing sessions across a cluster or load balanced instances? Does anyone know of a practical limit for the number of concurrent connections Tomcat can cope with on a reasonably out of the box Redhat installation (obviously file descriptor limits aside)? I realise this is more of a user question, but I figure members of this list are more likely to be able to provide me with the level of detail I'm looking for. Any info you can supply would be much appreciated (I also need to find this out with some urgency) Thanks in advance Mike --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
