Tomcat - maximum concurrent users?

I had heard 150, is that true?

While installing Tomcat for JSP applications, someone warned me that there was an inherent flaw that only allowed 150 concurrent users.

Does anyone know this for a fact? I can't find reference to it on the Jakarta site.

A quick search turned up nothing... Any of you Tomcat users encountered this limit?

I don't think there is a hard limit on the number of concurrent connections.

I had tomcat serving 20-30 pages per second with only 10 threads running. So unless you have 150 visitors on really slow modem connections - you should not worry about it.

Besides, if you have a site that needs to serve this level of traffic, you should spend some time on checking the tomcat sources.
If there is a limit, then it's most likely a compile time setting, which you should be able to modify.
