How to configure Tomcat JVM parameters

How to increase JVM size in Tomcat

In order to change the JVM heap size for Tomcat, we need to pickup the catalina.sh/catalina.bat file and modify the value for the JAVA_OPTS parameter. For example, suppose we want to change the max heap size from 256 MB to 512 MB while setting the Perm Gen = 256 MB.
Here's how to modify the JAVA_OPTS:

JAVA_OPTS="-Xms128m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m"

The changes in the JVM settings will take effect on the server restart. You can verify the change done in the JVM parameter by running the jmap command that is part of the JDK distribution. This tool requires passing the processId of Tomcat. Example:

C:\Users\tomcat>jmap -heap 3860
Attaching to process ID 3860, please wait...
Debugger attached successfully.
Server compiler detected.
JVM version is 24.51-b03

using thread-local object allocation.
Parallel GC with 4 thread(s)

Tomcat maxThreads configuration

Tomcat maxThreads represents the maximum number of request processing threads to be created by the HTTPConnector. < Connector port= " 8443 " protocol= " org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol " maxThreads= " 250 " SSLEnabled= " true " scheme= " https " secure= " true " clientAuth= " false " sslProtocol= " TLS " connectiontimeout= " 20000 " /> This determines the maximum number of simultaneous requests that can be handled. If not specified, this attribute is set to the default value of 200. How the process works: At server startup, the HTTP Connector will create a number of processing threads based on the value configured for the minSpareThreads attribute. Each incoming request requires a thread for the duration of that request. If the number of simultaneous requests cannot be handled by the currently available request processing threads, additio

tomcat connectiontimeout configuration

Apache tomcat contains a connectionTimeout parameter which defines the amount of time Tomcat will wait for three things: The total amount of time it takes to receive an HTTP GET request. The total amount of time between receipt of TCP packets on a POST or PUT request. The total amount of time between ACKs on transmissions of TCP packets in responses. Changing the connectionTimeout In some cases it might be necessary to increase it especially if the response takes too much to be completed on the server, leaving the connection without a response. To increase the connection timeout on tomcat server follow the following steps : 1. Open the file server.xml residing in TOMCAT_HOME/conf/. 2. Set the variable connectionTimeout in it to Value in Milliseconds.(i.e 1000 milliseconds = 1 second) For example : If  connectionTimeout  is not defined, the default value is 60000 (i.e. 60 seconds); however the standard server.xml that ships with Tomcat sets this to 20000 (i.e. 20

Tomcat Websocket example

A WebSocket is a full-duplex communication mechanism that allows both textual and binary messages to be sent between clients and servers, without the HTTP request/response life cycle. WebSockets allow either the client or the server to send a message at any time, providing an asynchronous solution for working with data while the user is performing a task. Websockets API are included in Tomcat 7 Web server distribution so you don't have to download any extra library: In this tutorial we will show how to create a WebSocket example using Apache Tomcat and Eclipse. Start by creating on Eclipse a new Dynamic project named websocket-example : We will now create a server side class named WebSocketDemo that is going to echo messages from a Javascript client: package com . sample ; import java . io . IOException ; import java . nio . ByteBuffer ; import javax . websocket . OnMessage ; import javax . websocket . Session ; import javax . websocket . server . ServerEndp
