Rajesh,
I was using JServ on Apache, but switched to Jakarta-Tomcat. After a little
pain, I love it. Spend the time to learn the Jakarta-Ant program and
developing will be sweet. Tomcat isn't much different from JServ to set up;
add one statement to your httpd.conf for Apache and add one or two
statements to your Tomcat server.xml file. I've got it running at work (NT)
and at home (Linux) and everything is portable except the build file which
has OS specific paths. So I keep two versions.
The dynamic reloading works for JSPs, but fails for beans ... I don't know
why. But a simple shell or batch file will stop and restart Tomcat and
Apache (my experience is you have to restart both). I haven't had a server
crash yet (couple months), so my experience has been excellent. (We're still
in development, not production.)
Tomcat supports the latest Servlets (2.2) and JSP (1.1) ; it's the
reference implementation. I'm still waiting for the Blackdown port of jdk
1.3; Tomcat works with Blackdown JDK 1.2.2 RC4 (RH6.2) and NT JDK 1.2.2.
Ken.
