Same goes for 3.3 versus 3.2, and so on.

I run Tomcat on 20 or so production web sites, with volumes in the 2/3 million hits per day mark. I've been running Tomcat since march 2000, starting with 3.2.1. I think with a little of involvment it is easy to set up a high availability environment using Apache/Tomcat and maybe hardware load balancers. Maybe what is missing is a good tutorial on such a setup. Maybe I could start thinking about writing something about our setup. We came up with neat tricks to handle live application upgrade and this sort of things. I don't know where this could fit in but it is definitely the kind of HOWTO that could be good for the spread of Tomcat on production environments. As for the pure servlet speed Tomcat can deliver, from what I see everyday, the bottleneck is usually in the data tier and not in the application server, so this is a purely sterile debate in my opinion. Just my 2 cents of euro worth. Mathias. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
