For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
Using ApacheBench and jconsole to test and monitor Tomcat

jconsole lets you monitor Tomcat or another Java application so that you can see how much memory is in use, how many threads you have running, how many classes, etc.

Here's an example of a Tomcat server that was sitting virtually unused ... which we then exercised through ApacheBench - the ab utility that's supplied with Apache httpd, as follows:

ab -n 2000 -c 30 http://192.168.200.215:8080/whm_course/demo.jsp

That's calling for a page to be loaded 2,000 times - with a concurrency of 30 (in other words for there to be 30 connections all at the same time, simulating visits from 30 different places.

Not surprisingly, the effect of sending 30 concurrent requests was that Tomcat started another 30 threads to handle them (!) and those threads between them grabbed anothe4 4 Mbyes or so of memory. The cpu usage spiked to around 20%. What is interesting to note is that - once created - the threads live on in case further requests come in.
