Nutch itself doesn't require tomcat. Tomcat is just a free implementation of the Java Servlet and JSP specs. I personally use Resin :) As far as riding your JVM on top of a webserver that is entirely up to you, but the purpose of application servers is usually independant of the purpose of a web server so i would argue it isn't bloat but functionality. The ability to load balance your jvm's, share statefull connection pools and use the features of the application server you choose are what makes Java a great language to use. > Depends on whose defining the infrastructure, If my > site is primary ASP.NET > or lets say PHP. Why would I run Tomcat? I think I have less of a concern of what the site is running, but more of a concern of a focus for the project. (assuming you mean the site running the nutch search engine to begin with). I'm hoping for simplicity in design and scope that we're platform independent in the sense of running within a jvm and not platform independent in the scope of maintaining or including ports to the different virtual machines themselves. To me a complete nutch implementaiton in .net sounds like a fantastic idea, however not a contribution but more of a fork. just my 2 cents :) Nothing against .net or even having a contribution tarball- i just don't see the shelf life of the current port of the jsp pages lasting very long with the enhancements that are currently being adopted and the risk of having to support feature bases across independent virtual machine platforms.
