Even with thread pooling, i can still maintain only 1 open connection per
thread at a time. Basically here we are making a server, which needs to
maintain an open connection with each connected client. Since we hav to hav
1 thread per connection, it is very easy to hit a plateu with JDKs which
implement threads using native threads (IBM JDK!!!) The only solution to
this problem that we cud find was to get the appeal jrockit jvm which
implements a many to many threading model. The only problem being that if i
run tomcat under it, it eats up 100MB+ ram, but if i use IBM JDK, then it
eats up only abt 20-30mb of ram normally.
