Link Details

Our old site was a typical JSP / Servlet site. Last week, we switched to the technology we love the best: JBoss Seam. The site would deploy but went down after about an hour. We also noticed that the site was acting as an inadvertent spider trap for Googlebot. These problems needed to be fixed. Figuring them out required a methodical investigation, which we performed, and we present the results for you to learn from. We show how to use the amazing URLrewrite filter to interact properly with Googlebot, and we derive a formula for calculating the PermGen allocation necessary for a JBoss deployment. Enjoy!
