Re: Best Servlet Container
We try to always use apache for static content and tomcat for application content. The only issues we had are when the static content needs to be protect in someway. As for speed there is only a small hit serving the static content in tomcat as opposed to apache. Phil Steve O'Hara wrote: Some nice anecdotal evidence/advice, thanks a lot.

Re: Best Servlet Container
Here is where Jetty shines. It has a snappy and efficient HTTP implementation; no need to use Apache for most apps. S |\_._/| .-.

Re: Best Servlet Container
Oracle's J2EE server is based off Orion. I would guess their servlet container comes straight from Orion as well. Regards.

RE: Best Servlet Container
I've been wondering about this myself, and was about to ask on tomcat-user (fully expecting a few flames), but now that it's been brought up here.. what's the latest on Resin? I keep hearing (here and there) that Resin kicks a lot of Tomcat butt, but I've been subscribed to the resin-interest list for about two weeks now, and there's been maybe 12 emails to it. I take this as a sign that there is virtually no community around that container, or that everyone who uses it has absolutely no questions. Question then: Anyone have an informed opinion about Resin, specificially how it compares to Tomcat in terms of performance and stability and perhaps clustering (which I take it, requires a purchase of Resin 'pro')?

Re: Best Servlet Container
We use Resin Pro for our production servers ... I'll have to admit I don't get very deeply involved in it, but the guy who admins them swears by it ... its (apparently) faster and uses less memory than tomcat.

Re: Best Servlet Container
Jetty is nice but its lack of dynamic servlet reloading has always been a sore point with me. For deployment Jetty is fine but I'd rather use Tomcat for development. S |\_._/| .-.

Re: Best Servlet Container
To be honest I dont think much in it anymore. Tomcat 5.x is very performant, JBoss uses the same catalina code base. WebSphere has a good reputation for scalability, Jetty starts fast. regards Malcolm Edgar On 10/1/06, Steve O'Hara [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Forgive the slightly off-topic request, but I'm wondering if anyone has any experience of performance comparisons of all the myriad of servlet containers out there?
