I use JBuilder 3.5 Enterprise Ed. which comes with the Inprise Application Server (IAS). I like the JBuilder IDE and the IAS interface, but give IAS a "B -" grade. IAS with JBuilder 3.5 uses Servlet 2.0 and JSP 0.92 APIs. without providing free upgrades. The "new" IAS that ships with JBuilder 4.0 uses Servlet 2.1 and JSP 1.0 APIs without any means of free upgrades. The FREE J2EE server uses Servlet 2.2 and JSP 1.1 APIs. What difference does this make? If your using a servlet with "RemoteDispatcher" and other newer J2EE commands, IAS won't recognize the method(s) and you WASTE lots of time trying to figure out what the heck is going on. Debugging JSP's using JBuilder/Inprise is a good idea; however, Inprise needs to provide much better server upgrade support before I will consider them for a commercial installation. I would appreciate other people's opinion regarding Application Servers: Tomcat, JRun 3.0, etc. I can't find anything written that contrasts the various servers (high end commercial with EJB/Transaction support versus Tomcat, etc.) I'm using JBuilder with the J2EE server and things work much better. The only issues I have dealt with J2EE server is figuring out how to set the configuration, use the deployment tool and understand the security management features "read/write" access of files handled with its Server.policy file. Documentation for J2EE Server beginners is poor in my opinion. W.

Marquez, Thanks a lot for such a helpful information but can you please tell me whether it is possible to get an evaluation version of JBuilder 4. I checked a few days ago and evaluation version of JBuilder 3.5 was available. Also what do you think regarding one feature of JBuilder, integration with other tools. I unerstand JBuilder is a full fulledge server side development product on its own. But what if I am developing my bussiness logic in Visual Age and would like to develop presentation and web layer in JBuilder. I will be waiting for your reply.

The JBuilder 4 Enterprise edition allows you to do Servlet / JSP debugging... this includes stepping through codes, modify variable values etc. It's expensive though. <vbg> But you can have the Pro albeit without JSP / Servlet debugging capabilities. <g> For other stuffs, you may want to check this out: JSP for Code Jockeys http://www.zdnet.com/products/stories/reviews/0,4161,2639151,00.html Mio Nino P.
