Application assembly performance checklist

Application assembly tools are used to build J2EE components and modules into J2EE applications. Application assembly consists of defining application components and their attributes including enterprise beans, servlets and resource references. Many of these application configuration settings and attributes play an important role in the run-time performance of the deployed application. Use this information as a check list of important parameters and advice for finding optimal settings:

• Web modules assembly settings
  • Distributable
  • Reload interval
  • Reload enabled
• Web component settings
  • Load on startup

You can also use the JSP pre-touch tool to enhance application server performance. This tool causes all JSPs to be compiled when your application server starts. For more information, see Pre-touch tool for compiling and loading JSP files in the Application development topic.
