server-threads

Experiment with Java Servlet threads and async servlets. It is possible to start the server using mvn jetty:run.

Then it's possible to visit address http://localhost:8080/threads/async?max=100 to test asynchronous behavior and http://localhost:8080/threads/sync?max=100 to test synchronous (please note that by default Jetty will not create more than 200 threads. Logs are written to /tmp/server.log.

To configure Maven memory usage, use MAVEN_OPTS, for example MAVEN_OPTS='-Xmx2048m -Xms2048m'.

Otherwise feel free to create WAR using mvn package and deploy it to a server of your choice.

For higher number of connections you have to play with the server configuration and operation system ulimits. Sample jetty configuration is included.
