Does Tomcat run better on Linux or Windows?
Is Tomcat more stable on Linux or Windows 2003? What are the pros/cons of using it on each platform? Thank you in advance for your help and advice, Chad
Re: Does Tomcat run better on Linux or Windows?
Wow this seem likely to start flame war. Since it is written in Java there is really not much of a difference. The only thing that comes to mind is that you have to reboot windows every time you need to make a change to the CLASSPATH, JAVA_HOME, or TOMCAT_HOME variables which can be a pain. I will also throw in that it is my personal option(NOTE: For any extremists on the list I said my option. Not an absolute fact. Just one guys experience) that you spend a lot less time maintaining Linux. This is mainly because Linux is so modular that you can uninstall everything but the parts you want. So the only things I have to keep up with and patch are the Kernel, MySQL, Apache, and Tomcat. No GUI, no extra services, etc. Chad Lester wrote: Is Tomcat more stable on Linux or Windows 2003?

I've been running Tomcat on both Linux and Windows for a couple years now and other than the differences in installation and maintenance, haven't noticed any differences as far as stability is concerned.

That is correct, but many of us run Tomcat as a Service. I've not yet been able to find a way of changing environment variables in Windows and have the OS pick up the changes and pass them to a service (no matter how often you stop and start the service) without rebooting.

Usually closing the Windows Services applet and reopening it does the trick, I've found Windows picks up the environment variables at the time a program is started so usually closing whatever program and reopening it works.

As far as I know, when run as a service, Tomcat itself does not actually use any environment variables (although your app or config files might). You normally change the service settings either by editing the registry or running the service manager (tomcat5w.exe). - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.

Eeek, this is almost like a which is better: vi or emacs? thread... Having used tomcat in both environments, here is my $0.02 on the topic: - Linux + more secure out of the box + simpler for more complex configurations + simpler for upgrades + usually more uptime + more controlled environment - Windows + simpler for simple configurations + easier to setup YMMV, Larry On 8/30/05, Chad Lester [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is Tomcat more stable on Linux or Windows 2003?

Re: Does Tomcat run better on Linux or Windows?
Is Tomcat more stable on Linux or Windows 2003? What are the pros/cons of using it on each platform? If you're planning for a high-performance high-load system, don't use Windows 2003 Standard Edition. It has serious limitations in the TCP/IP stack. I wasn't able to open more than ~3500 concurrent network connections to a database cluster. The common error was no buffer space available. Linux on the same machine works fine. Would be interesting if Win 2003 EE or DCE has the same limitation. The real pain was not the limitation itself, but that is _not_ documented. The error message is listed as a common error that occurs in many different situations. Great. -- Michael -- Michael Kleinhenz tarent GmbH .
