how to increase the threads in JVM

I am working alfresco server. It is build on top of Tomcat.

I had written the following code the the server.xml file

I increased the database max.connection pool setting to 300.

But the Jconsole is showing the

live threades: 1开发者_StackOverflow社区20 peek threads : 141

why this is happening? i am given max threads as 290. how can i increasethe peek threads value

Thanks & regards, murali.

Check your server.xml for the Connector element it has an attribute maxThreads, you might want to increase it.

  <Connector port="8080" maxThreads="500" .... />

Thats bevause the number of threads limits the number sessions you can have in a web application.
