RE: Which webcontainer to use? (Linux/Solaris/MacOS)

[Jesse Alexander (KADA 12)]

Hi,

one way might be to use an apache as the webserver (and use its
capabilities to run CGI) and then attach a Tomcat for Java-Servlets.
Should you choose EJB's for the backend: add JBoss to the chain...

hope this helps
Alexander

Subject: Which webcontainer to use? (Linux/Solaris/MacOS)


Hi.

We are converting an existing character based database application to a 
web based ditto, and have now surveyed the marked and found that Struts is 
  a viable solution which I am now trying to get running (had to write some 
beans to interface to the database first - this was _not_ what the 
database schema was designed for), and we are not interested in going EJB,
  since we may want to create a stand-alone application later.

I have done my initial testing on a Tomcat 4.0.1, but have found that it 
has some problems with calling CGI programs, and I therefore wonder 
whether I should move to the latest Tomcat 3.x instead?  Would I loose 
some functionality regarding web applications which would outweigh any 
advantages in going to a more tested version of Tomcat?

Should we consider another web container all together? Resin has been 
strongly recommended. Cross platform usability is a definitive must, since 
we develop under Linux and Mac OS, and deploy under Solaris, and I would 
really like the option of being able to tweak the source.   We are not far 
enough that we are willing to pay for a commercial solution, but this is - 
in the future - an option if the benefits are sufficiently large.  This is 
software for running at a hospital.

Currently I work with Forte and Emacs depending on what I need to do.

Any suggestions for the web container, and perhaps some auxillary software?
