[jetty-discuss] How many simple webbaps can jetty support

[Niki I. <ni...@ic...>]

This is the situation. 
We plan to use jetty to build simple e-commerce solution.
The idea is to host many e-stores on one server. This can be achived in two ways
1. Use one application and one database for all stores. 
2. Use one webbapp and one database /firebird/ per store.

approach 1 has one bih plus - easy maintinance and several coins - large 
databases, additional key on shop_id.. if system is compromised or crashes all 
shops go down and mainly - almost impossible support for different domain names.

approach 2 is heavy on conenctions to server, large dispace requirements and so 
on.

We plan basic e-shop only without any bells and whistles. We assume that there 
will not be heavy load per shop - let's say 200 customers/24hours.

We plan to use a monster on this - Dual Xeon with at least 16GB Ram and SCSI 
Raid.

How many webbapps can jetty support? has it been tested in simmilar enviroment?
