A year is a long time =) 1/ the "latest" Tomcat is v5.5, but that's still in alpha (or beta?) so you probably don't want to use that if you're writing an app anew 2/ Tomcat 5.0 is stable and fairly modern (servlet spec 2.4/ JSP 2.0). A safe bet would be to use 5.0 for now, but keep an eye on 5.5 (and whatever else comes out in the next year). Generally speaking, as long as you keep an eye on the relevant J2EE specs and don't code to container-specific features, migration between containers/versions is straightforward. -QM -- software -- http://www.brandxdev.net tech news -- http://www.RoarNetworX.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
