Re: supporting 2000 simultaneous connections.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply and help.

The web application I am talking about is a Learning
Management System.

By simultaneous users I mean that all 2000 users
should be able to access the application and for
example say take a test.

We are using JNDI connection pooling.

I think we have to now think about upgrading the
hardware as well.

thanks for your time.

regards

Shiva
