You're using Redhat 6.2 system and one reason to use Tomcat instead
of Resin could be there is RPM which will ease the installation and
runtime.
1) rpm -Ivh tomcat-xxx.noarch.rpm => install the servlet engine.
The tomcat server will be launch automatically at startup via
the init process (/etc/rc.d/init.d/tomcat)
2) If you want to use tomcat behind the Apache web server, in
normal or secure (SSL), install tomcat-mod-xxx.i386.rpm.
That will install necessary module in Apache.
3) Apache / Tomcat is the perfect combination since via mod_jk
you could have a farm of Tomcat behind Apache. You directly
get a fault-tolerant and load-balancing system.
Resin may be faster than current Tomcat release but speed
increase at each release. Preliminary versions of Tomcat 3.3
show a great boost in performance over Tomcat 3.1 or Tomcat 3.2.
Tomcat is also the servlet reference at Sun and Tomcat 4.0 will
be certainly include in upcoming JDK refs....
But you're right, we may be partial ;-)
When you choose a product you must go beyond performance and
take in consideration Openess, Documentation and stability.
