Tuning SPECjAppServer2002

Components

Application Server: deployment scanner

As SPECjAppServer2002 is a static benchmark, there is no need for the hot deployment capability. On some systems, the hot deployment capability can generate a large amount of garbage data. It would be best to avoid this, if possible. The issue can be corrected by editing the jboss-service.xml file, of the JBoss instance of your choice and either replacing:

<attribute name="ScanPeriod">5000</attribute>

with:

<attribute name="ScanPeriod">600000</attribute>

to force the scan to occur every 10 minutes, or:

<attribute name="ScanEnabled">false</attribute>

to completely disable hot deployment.
