This sounds more like a thread for the java-linux list, but I do want to
make sure that people reading this list don't get scared away from using
Apache JServ on Linux. First, I quote from the JavaWorld article
referenced below:
"Granted, there's no such thing as too fast, but even FreeBSD and Linux
have Java support fast enough for all but the most demanding Java server
applications."
Bring out the big guns when you need them, but until you get well into the
hundreds of thousands of requests per day, jdk 1.1.7a on Linux will do the
job very happily and speedily.
Also, the author of the JavaWorld article says that when he recompiled the
Linux kernel to use 1024 file descriptors, the JVM still couldn't use more
than 256. I have run the Blackdown JDK successfully with over 500 FDs on
Linux 2.0.36 so I wouldn't let the author's troubles scare you away
(perhaps he didn't do ulimit -n 1024).
