Hi mingfai,
I am trying other application servers because I have some problems using
tomcat in a production environment.
The environment is Solaris 8, JRE1.2.2, tomcat3.3, Apache1.3.23 with mod_ssl
and mod_jk.
What I discovered is that when I use apache benchmark tool(ab) to generate
many requests on apache, the java heap allocated
in tomcat continuously increases. Up to a point that there is OutOfMemoryError.
If I generate the requests on tomcat instead, there is no problem.
I am using the OptimizeIt to see the above result.
And What I can find in cvs log of mod_jk is that there was a memory leak bug
in May last year. But this bug is said to be fixed.
If I use Apache1.3.23 without mod_ssl, I find that the java heap remains
stable. However, I discovered that the allocated memory
of the java process of tomcat continuously increases. Because I am afraid that there
will be OutOfMemeryError in the production
environment. So, I restart the tomcat process regularly.
Have you discovered the same things for your web application??
Thx. and Regards.
Steve.

hi Steve,
I'm a Tomcat user. from what I read on the web, I believe Jetty does
outperform Tomcat significantly in static pages and also outperform Tomcat
to a unknown degree in dynamic pages. so, why i still choose Tomcat?
My main consideration is in scalability. Multiple instance of Tomcat can be
run and load balanced with Apache and mod_jk. I believe it can achieve a
very high scalability in handling simultanceous requests. Other
considerations are: good integration with other Apache and commercial
products, better support (i personally think the 'support' from Apache group
is better than other open src groups), full implementation of JCP
specification etc.
And Tomcat should not be used together with Apache if there is heavy loading
of static pages.
Other than Tomcat and Jetty, Resin is also quite famous. And there are other
commercial choice like WebLogic, JRun and Orion. You should make decision
base on your need.
In my opinion, if your site is small in scale, and requires a very good
response time, then Jetty or Resin are your choice. Otherwise, Tomcat is a
good choice in general and it is a proven product. It occupies about 50% of
the servlet engine market as of mid 2001.
