Andrig Miller commented on AS7-2096:
------------------------------------

Remy, sometimes I think that you assume that everyone is just stupid!  I'm not trying to disable keep alive.  The default, unless its changed, is that for every 100 requests the server will close the connection, regardless of the fact that the client is using keep alive.  I want to set this value to unlimited (-1), because it gives the best throughput on benchmarks, because it never closes the connection on the server, forcing the load driver to have to reconnect.  In a benchmarking situation, you don't want that.  In a real-life application scenario, closing the connection after 100 requests may actually make a lot of sense, but a load driver client is going to do a lot more than 100 requests.  So, yes, exposing it as an attribute does allow people to disable keep alive, which is bad, but the default doesn't work for benchmarking.  Also, I document this in the performance tuning guide for EAP, so for customers we have good documentation that would tell them not to disable i!

> I have been reviewing all the XML schemas for all the subsystems, for my performance tuning work.  In looking at the JBoss web schema, there is one attribute that I would like added to the schema so I can set its value.
> You used to be able to set maxKeepAliveRequests in the old server.xml, and I would like a corresponding element added to the new AS 7.x schema.  This particular attribute has been key in getting the maximum throughput on various workloads.
