Improve Apache Tomcat Performance

Tomcat is most commonly used server when we deploy Java application. But sometimes it stuck at startup time and works slowly.

Hello Everyone, here i am sharing the secret things of tomcat to makes it faster. I recommend that take backup of file before any modification.

We will do this by three simple steps:

Step 1: Open tomcat folder (Check in your installation directory) and go to bin directory.

Step 2: Open catalina.sh file and search JAVA_OPTS (in vi editor “/<search-string>”) and replace -Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/./urandom

for example i added this

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS $JSSE_OPTS -Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/./urandom"

Steps 3: Save this file (:wq command in vi editor) and restart Tomcat.

Now open logs and see the result. I hope it will solve your problem.

Thank you for reading.
