thanks for the response. Space is not a problem on the device. The device will be running Linux. One other reason is why I am thinking of tomcat is I am familiar with Java but not C,C++.
We are starting from the scratch. And there are not many developers right now. Since the infrastructure that I am developing is for the configuration management. Is there anything that I can use to speed up the development if not with JSF.

How much space do you have on the embedded device? You'll need a Java SE runtime (*not* ME) in order to start Tomcat. If you don't already have Java on the device for other purposes, this is a significant overhead. What OS are you running on the embedded device, and is there a J2SE port for it? > I have to figure out a way to hook cli to communicate to > tomcat. Why? What are you communicating? Can you (for example) make a JNI library to retrieve the same information through API calls? > The reason why I want to use tomcat is the ease of > development. I can use JSF for the EMS. That *has* to be the first time I've heard "JSF" and "ease of development" in the same paragraph :-). > or do u guys think I am better of some httpd, and configd > implemented in C. I think you're best off with the technology that your development team knows, unless you're starting from scratch. Do your developers already know Java and JSF? If not, what do they know? - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------- Now that's room service!
