title: Load testing on web application
body: <p>We are load testing our web application(Java, Struts, Spring, Java EE). The results show that, out of 11,000 odd requests sent to the server, only 1500 odd pass through; most of them fail throwing SocketException.</p>
  
  <p>What are the possible reasons this could occur ?</p>
  
  <p>I have no idea where to look in the application to fix it.</p>
