Hi,
Thanks for your reply and help.
The web application I am talking about is a Learning
Management System.
By simultaneous users I mean that all 2000 users
should be able to access the application and for
example say take a test.
We are using JNDI connection pooling.
I think we have to now think about upgrading the
hardware as well.
thanks for your time.
regards
Shiva
