How much memory does an upgrade of Apache Tomcat and Sun Java save on a small Linux server? And how do Jetty and Sun Glassfish perform in comparison? Do Grails applications use more memory than Java web applications? Some benchmark results are discussed.

What is the most memory saving hosting environment for Grails and Java web applications and which parameters influence the memory consumption? This is the start of a series of benchmark results with different combinations of popular hosting components.[Read More]
Java web applications don't need an Apache web server. In memory constrained systems like virtual private servers (VPS) you may get rid of the Apache web server to save memory and gain speed. The idea is to use iptables to replace port 80 in requests to port 8080 of the tomcat connector. Special problem on VPS systems are solved.[Read More]
Clean shutdown of tomcat normally requires a second java process, which fails under low memory constraints. A solution is shown using the netcat (nc) tool under Linux.
