Thread: [Bodington-developers] Tomcat 5.5

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hi bodders,

I've installed bodington on a server that's running Tomcat 5.5.17.
Does anyone have any advice /  tip & trick regarding tomcat config?

Thanks

Well the key pitfall to manouver (and I quote from 
/bodington/docs/install/quickstart/Readme.txt here!) is:

- - - - - - -

- Tomcat 5.5 -

	Much work has gone into Tomcat 5.5 to enable it to run with just a JRE.
	Bodington currently requires the tools.jar (containing the javac java
	compiler), from the JDK, as this is used to compile the templates. If 
Tomcat
	is running, stop it and then perform these steps according to your 
platform.

	* Windows: From the 'Start' menu choose Programs -> Apache Tomcat 5.5 ->
	Configure Tomcat. In the dialog that appears, select the 'Java' tab. 
Append
	;<path to jdk>\lib\tools.jar to the entry in the 'Java Classpath' box 
(so if
	you installed the JDK in C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0 you would 
append the
	string ;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0\tools.jar). Click on OK and you can
	restart Tomcat from another tab on the same dialog.

	* Linux: Open $CATALINA_HOME/bin/setclasspath.sh in a text editor and add
	$JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar to the CLASSPATH, e.g.:

	CLASSPATH=$JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar

- - - - - - -

Other than that, there's nothing special to be aware of as far as I know (?)

Sorry, no problems should have clarified the request... Oups

Has anyone got any advice on configuring tomcat with regard to performance?

OK, you haven't said whether or not you've tried and have experienced 
performance problems ;-).

Anyway, in the general scheme of things, one is far more likely to 
encounter performance problems with the database rather than the servlet 
  container (if we're talking about bodington here!).

I presume you're running on JDK 1.5, anyway, the combination with that 
should mean that things are running faster than Tomcat 5.0 + J2SDK 
v1.4.2 anyway.

Other than that, I don't have any particular tips. I don't think it's 
generally regarded as a slouch in the performance department.

Alexis

++2 for that. tomcat ain't our problem. untuned sql, now there's a diff!

yep.

Already done Jon... ;o)

Thanks guys, was just checking... but it seems you're all in agreement
that tomcat performs well with out too much config!

Most obvious tip - use JAVA_OPTS environment variable to set the size of 
the JVM heap to much bigger than the default, including the option to 
set the initial heap to the maximum too.

Jon

Dunno anything about it (apart from messages from Tomcat that it can't be found) but is it worth 
looking at the Apache Tomcat Native library:

"INFO: The Apache Tomcat Native library which allows optimal performance in production environments 
was not found"...

Has anyone got the Apache Tomcat Native library stuff working on their live
server or even a test server?
