Abstract
Tuning individual application servers differs from vendor to vendor, but supporting the Java EE 5 specification requires basic continuity across vendors. Equipped with the knowledge of what an application server is required to do, I assert that you can effectively tune an application server to within 80 percent of its optimal performance by configuring these core services. The remaining 20 percent of application server fine-tuning represents vendor-specific optimizations on top of its standards implementation. In this chapter, we analyze the core infrastructure of an application server and discuss best practices for tuning configurations and evaluations.
