A lot of "older" and even newer apps run on Tomcat 3, and a lot of them run on TC4. People use both in production environments, and there's no reason why everybody has to use Tomcat 4 immediately if they do not need the administrative or API features. Tomcat 3 has been around for a while and IMHO it's solid. Purely anecdotal, but I noticed that Tomcat 4 exhibited higher latency at admittedly light loads on similar hardware in the two cases where I experimented with migrating an existing, "old" application to Tomcat 4. I left them alone (still running!), and used Tomcat 4 for another project instead. Could have just been me...could have been a lot of things. cheers fillup -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
