Summary

This chapter covered many aspects of Java application servers, including settings on the various containers, coding practices, and performance issues with various J2EE features. However, your web site is more than your Java web application. The next chapter discusses some of the other key "players" such as the HTTP server and the firewall. Again, your web site is a system. Tuning your web application while ignoring other web site components usually leads to an underperforming production system.
