You can use the maxThreads or maxConnections to increase the number of connections and threads. <br />

Apart from that there is no limit, only limits imposed by the OS and/or hardware.

We are experiencing some issues with an Application server where over 1000 nodes send messages back and forth all day long. My question is does Tomcat have a limit of connections, if so what is that limit, what is the default limit and how can it be adjusted.<br />

We are experiencing some issues with an Application server where over 1000 nodes send messages back and forth all day long. My question is does Tomcat have a limit of connections, if so what is that limit, what is the default limit and how can it be adjusted.
Attached is my server.xml

Tomcat connection limit

An application server is a software framework that provides both facilities to create applications and a server environment to run them. Most application server frameworks contain a comprehensive service layer model, acting as a set of components accessible to the software developer through an API defined by the platform itself. For Web applications, these components are usually performed in the same running environment as their web server(s), and their main job is to support the construction of dynamic pages. However, many application servers target much more than just Web page generation: they implement services like clustering, fail-over, and load-balancing.

Application Servers

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.
