Tomcat Configurations & Setups

[JacobRhoden]

I am thinking of running a tomcat server, what configurations to people have, how much memory do you get away with needing in your virtual host. How do you provide reliability? Monitoring scripts and so on? Pleas share (:

I use Tomcat with the $20/month plan(MiroVPS1 96MB). I just use it for my own personal use. I use iptables to use Tomcat without Apache. Hopefully I will develop some business plan soon. I don't have any problems with it. But I never had any load on it. You probably should Apache as a front end. See http://rimuhosting.com/mod_jk2.jsp You can run any scripts. You could also use Filters to log. See http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2003/11/19/filters.html
