When browsing through JBoss's documentation I found this remark: http://www.jboss.org/online-manual/HTML/ch11s02.html --<snip>-- Be aware however that JBoss performance is very dependant on the underlying configuration. For example, informal tests show that on the same PC box, it can run twice as fast under Windows 2000 / Sun JVM than under Linux 2.2 / Sun JVM.
Linux users probably already know that linux does not support real threads. Under heavy load, JBoss will for example crash with 200 concurrent users under linux, whereas it can handle 1000 of them on the same box with Windows 2000. Of course, if you use Apache or Jetty in front of JBoss to handle the thread pooling, this will not be a problem. --</snip>-- This sounds alarming -- should I not consider Linux as a production platform when thinking about serving Java (J2EE) apps? Is this why UNIX is so popular in production servers?
