Sun's update on the WSDP 1.4 (http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/WebServices/JWSDP_1.4/) includes this note about web containers:
It is worth noting that Sun Java Web Server has better performance than Apache Tomcat; you can learn more about this from Sun Java Web Server vs. Apache/Tomcat Benchmarks. The link to the KeyLabs report is at http://www.keylabs.com/results/sun/SunONEFinalReport_Solaris.pdf Why would SunONE be anywhere from 2 to 5 times faster than Tomcat? They also suggest that Tomcat would start to show errors when loading 200 users at a time, whereas SunONE could handle up to 500 users without any errors. David
