Scalability issues on web server

HI,

My Question to expert is

Scalable distributed systems remain effective when there is a significant increase in the number of resources and the number of users.
Is there is any way to configure  apache web server, if no of concurrent  threads  needs to be process while  number of users might have increased.....

How to decide how many concurrent threads a server can handle ? is there is any way to do that

Thanks

Apache is more of a multi-threaded process, conceptually very far from distributed system.
I recently discussed web server scalability in this thread:
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/28569188/Best-configuration-for-VPS-with-DirectAdmin-on-CentOS-6-5.html

An operating system of today can handle threads at least until maxint() - like billions of threads. If you jave 40Gbe still the practical number is by order of magnitude less.

What do you mean by J2EE?
