Subject: Please recommend a Low Cost Tomcat Hosting platform


Hi
I have a Tomcat 4 Application ready to deploy as a WAR. It uses database 
pooling to connect to a MYSQL database. I recently selected a Tomcat 
hosting platform to deploy my application but the deployment is non 
-standard you have to copy various parts of the WAR to different 
locations which dont match the standard deployment and it doesnt use 
database pooling to connect to MYSQL. I have been unable to get my 
application to run on it because these issues.

This is not a high performance website and I do not need/cannot afford a 
dedicated server I just want to easily be able to deploy my application.

I am based in the UK so a UK/English Speaking host would be preferable.

Could anyone recommend a hostthat provides this straight forward 
deployment facilities.
Thanks paul

Paul,
I use a company called name on the net who work out at £100 a year. They 
support WAR deployment in a pure sense (my only comment would be they 
provide a Tomcat 5 container). Support is good, they are a small company and 
from that point of view you always get a quick response.

Re: Please recommend a Low Cost Tomcat Hosting platform

2005-01-04 Thread Paul Taylor
I've taken a look at the recommended options and this is my view from 
looking at the Websites provided.

1. WebConnexions has very little information regarding JSPs (there is 
only one question regarding Java on Support) and the pricing ids 
unfairly skewed to be cheaper for US accounts. Im a bit dubious about it 
because I have already signed up with a supposed Java Host and found it 
lacking.
2. MythicBeasts is very flexible but would require me to deal with the 
administration of the whole machine which isnt something I really want 
todo, having deployed by application I want to just leave it be as much 
as possible.
3. NameOnTheNet looks promising, they only seem to do Java Hosting and 
there is alot of support information and they are based in the UK so I 
think I might give them a try.
4. AssortedInternet look OK, but they seem to cover so many different 
types of hosting I am unsure of how important Java Hosting is, also 
based in US.

Review of noname.net
I made the mistake of selecting a Shared VM trial thinking I could get 
way with it but I couldnt.
I managed to get my basic application running, although deployment was a 
very hit a and miss affair, Tomcat Manager didnt work properly  and I 
didnt receive satisfactory explanations of what was going on. But I 
wanted to implement database connection pooling and changes to the 
tomcat logging and this was not possible so I requested an upgrade to a 
trial to a private JVM, but was told only one trial per customer is allowed.

At least they give a free trial but Im checking out

don't do this by default). Also if you need SSL ask them now as they

Yes in terms of the logging and connection pooling I had that problem and so

Re: Please recommend a Low Cost Tomcat Hosting platform

2005-01-10 Thread Paul Taylor
Ok,
Well I decided to try kgbinternet.com instead and its exactly what I 
wanted. You have complete control over configuration and Ive encoutered 
no problems so far, and its considerably cheaper.

H Paul,
Yes in terms of the logging and connection pooling I had that problem 
and so I implemented the commons database pooling and use log4j to do 
my logging.

Sorry it wasn't so clear for you

Review of noname.net
I made the mistake of selecting a Shared VM trial thinking I could get 
way with it but I couldnt.
I managed to get my basic application running, although deployment was 
a very hit a and miss affair, Tomcat Manager didnt work properly  and 
I didnt receive satisfactory explanations of what was going on. But I 
wanted to implement database connection pooling and changes to the 
tomcat logging and this was not possible so I requested an upgrade to 
a trial to a private JVM, but was told only one trial per customer is 
allowed.

At least they give a free trial but Im checking out 
http://www.servlets.com/isps/ and deciding on someone else to try.

Let me know how you get on Paul, and feel free to let them know I 
referred you ; )

As a tip I would recommend the following:
If you have any custom XMl with external DTD then ask them to make 
sure your account has external access to retrieve the DTD's (They 
don't do this by default). Also if you need SSL ask them now as they 
need to do some specifics with your host IP address.

Cheers,
Mark Benussi

I've taken a look at the recommended options and this is my view from 
looking at the Websites provided.

1. WebConnexions has very little information regarding JSPs (there is 
only one question regarding Java on Support) and the pricing ids 
unfairly skewed to be cheaper for US accounts. Im a bit dubious about 
it because I have already signed up with a supposed Java Host and 
found it lacking.
2. MythicBeasts is very flexible but would require me to deal with 
the administration of the whole machine which isnt something I really 
want todo, having deployed by application I want to just leave it be 
as much as possible.
3. NameOnTheNet looks promising, they only seem to do Java Hosting 
and there is alot of support information and they are based in the UK 
so I think I might give them a try.
4. AssortedInternet look OK, but they seem to cover so many different 
types of hosting I am unsure of how important Java Hosting is, also 
based in US.

Hi
I have a Tomcat 4 Application ready to deploy as a WAR. It uses 
database pooling to connect to a MYSQL database. I recently selected 
a Tomcat hosting platform to deploy my application but the 
deployment is non -standard you have to copy various parts of the 
WAR to different locations which dont match the standard deployment 
and it doesnt use database pooling to connect to MYSQL. I have been 
unable to get my application to run on it because these issues.

This is not a high performance website and I do not need/cannot 
afford a dedicated server I just want to easily be able to deploy my 
application.

I am based in the UK so a UK/English Speaking host would be preferable.
Could anyone recommend a hostthat provides this straight forward 
deployment facilities.
Thanks paul
