Yup, I don't think there's anything Tomcat could do to make *small cost* hosting companies to embrace Tomcat.
Many big businesses are using Tomcat. But, when it comes to smaller hosting companies I've come accross only one host in the US who supports Tomcat with MySQL everyone else only support JSP and MySQL and PHP. You'll find some threads on this here if you search for JSP Hosting, it would be nice if all hosts mentioned there support Tomcat and not just JSP. But it's entirely up to the hosting companies. http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=45&threadID=635513 http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=45&threadID=573893 Many of them simply support JSP and don't allow uploading other JAR or WAR files. This limits an application significantly when it grows. Plus deploying a WAR file is much easier. So, it's really up to the hosting companies to install Tomcat on the backend. ----- Original Message ---- From: Martin Gainty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Tomcat Users List <users@tomcat.apache.org> Sent: Tuesday, November 28, 2006 8:05:22 AM Subject: Re: Is jsp designed for use by large websites Good Morning Jack- As Tomcat is OpenSource (and not proprietary) and can be installed on any OS (vs just 1) I dont undertand What is causing the number of Tomcat users to attenuate over time?
