• Connection request pool size (Solaris only)
• Flow control
• Servlet buffer pool
• Servlet Java cache
• Direct-access pseudocomponents
Connection request pool size (Solaris only)
On Solaris, EAServer 4.1.2 introduces a new listener property to configure the
pool size for outstanding connection requests. When the server is very busy, all
available threads may be in use when a connect request arrives. These pending
connect requests are pooled until they can be handled. If the pool size is too
small, client connection requests may time out before the server can handle the
request. For more information, see “Listener tuning” in Chapter 2, “Server
Tuning,” in the EAServer Performance and Tuning Guide.
