Java application servers  Two most commonly misconfigured Tomcat
performance settings  By Lukas Stewart  One of the great things
about the Tomcat application server is the fact that the
software used to develop and test applications is the exact same
software that gets installed and used in a full scale production
environment. The packages and binaries a software developer
downloads and installs on a local Ubuntu image are the same
binaries and packages that get installed by the system
administrator on the Linux box running in production.
Unfortunately, this can also cause some problems, as the
binaries downloaded from are not necessarily configured to
effectively leverage the enhanced performance capabilities of
server-side hardware. If a Tomcat installation is performed on a
server using the default settings, simple optimizations get
missed, and the production hardware will not perform at its
optimal capacity.  The most commonly misconfigured settings on a
production Tomcat server can be found in the attrib
