Overview of Enterprise Server Performance

Tuning

You can significantly improve performance of the Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server and of applications deployed to it by adjusting a few deployment and server configuration settings. However, it is important to understand the environment and performance goals. An optimal configuration for a production environment might not be optimal for a development environment.

This chapter discusses the following topics:

■“Process Overview” on page 17

■“Understanding Operational Requirements” on page 19
