Howdy, >Just wanted to find out what the list's experience is with Tomcat versus >Apache ? Why is one preferred over the other ?
Depends on your situation. People with lots of static files frequently put Apache in front to handle the static files and delegate servlet/JSP requests to tomcat. I personally prefer a standalone tomat. >Is Tomcat used in a production site or just for development ? Used in many production sites. Unfortunately due to the legal realities in many companies of people on this list, you will not be able to get a good list of companies using tomcat in production. >I've been arguing the case for Tomcat on an internal project esp. since >there are no static pages and the system is using JSP/Java. Then tomcat is probably your choice. If you write you app to the servlet specification, you can easily compare tomcat with other spec-compliant containers for performance and reliability. >Just don't have any hard qualitative data. I don't think there IS such a thing as "hard qualitative data." Qualitative is kind of like subjective in that way, when applied to server choice and performance data ;) Yoav Shapira Millennium ChemInformatics This e-mail, including any attachments, is a confidential business communication, and may contain information that is confidential, proprietary and/or privileged.
