Pete was right.. I needed to specify. I'm looking for high-end, high-load. 1 million hits a day on a server that implements a lot of JSP tags. Somehow I don't think Tomcat's going to do that (nor do I think my management is going to like using a server that doesn't have technical support :).

You really need to qualify your market before asking the question. If you are serving up a million hits a month, you might have one class of best, strictly because of the funds issue. If you are serving up a million hits an hour, that would justify spending thousands on an app server that worked well under a heavy load. But at ten, twenty, or thirty thousand dollars, that app server would be total overkill on my little site, even though it is definitely best. One bencmarking organization addresses this by grouping in terms of total cost and/or number of transactions. http://tpc.org/ -- Pete Carapetyan http://webAppWriter.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: < mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: < mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
