How many connections can be made to Tomcat on Windows?

The number of connections accepted by Tomcat is determined by the elements in the server.xml configuration file. The maxProcessors attribute sets the total number of threads that can run simultaneously and the acceptCount attribute controls the number of requests that may be queued waiting for a connection. The physical limits to the number of connections will depend on the specification of the host machine and the configuration of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) more than the operating system. A higher specification machine could manage more threads, but you may need to adjust the runtime parameters of the JVM to hold many more objects in memory and process the threads. See the -mx and -ss arguments to configure heap and stack size respectively. At the time of writing, the Apache Software Foundation do not recommend Windows systems for production hosting of Tomcat.
