Dear satyawan,

Have you considered logging to a file?

Dear Satyawan,

To test a load balancer, you can generate traffic using for example jmeter. To see the number of requests that a particular Tomcat processed, you can enable the access log valve (see server.xml) and count the lines in the generated log file.

HTTP 8080:
Current thread count: 3 Current thread busy: 3
Max processing time: 162 ms Processing time: 0.346 s Request count: 4 Error count: 1 Bytes received: 0.00 MB Bytes sent: 0.02 MB

Tomcat is open source software, so I suggest you take a look at that source and see how they did it.

Good luck.

Thank you
Sir
for your suggestion I know tomcat is open source. I download its source code and go through it but didnot get anything because it is very difficult for me to understand it.Sir I am a student of engineering and don't have much expertise in it so if you really know some api of tomcat or some code so please let me know it is very crucial for my final project work please help me.

thank you
