This Sun BluePrints™ article describes best practices in deploying TWiki software on Sun's open source GlassFish application server. Utilizing the Java™ technology long-running Web process (LRWP) protocol and running on the Solaris™ Operating System (OS), the platform can run up to twice the speed of Apache HTTP Server software implementations running on the Solaris OS. The result is reduced system overhead and the ability to accommodate greater numbers of users.

The author would like to thank the following individuals for their contributions to this article:
• His manager Tim Mac, who provided the opportunity and support throughout thisproject, as well as suggestions and ideas for improving TWiki performance.
• Giri Mandalika and Ravi Hingarajiya, who took the time to set up the OptimizedOpen Source Software Stack (Cool Stack) for the Solaris OS platform on the SunFire T2000 server, and provided valuable TWiki configuration information. CoolStack contains enhanced binaries for Apache HTTP Server 2.0, and helps to enhance TWiki deployment.
• Bruce Chapman and Georg Edelmann, who reviewed the paper in detail andprovided important suggestions.
