A few more notes about my experiences switching from Resin to Tomcat 4.1.18. I am enjoying the enforcement of standards. I know a lot more about what is going on and really see the effects of configuration and code changes. The performance of Tomcat for development is far superior to Resin. By this I mean the start and stop time of the Tomcat service is about 1/2 the time of a Resin stop and restart. The retention of session information across restarts saves reauthentication in the HTML test process. The integration of Tomcat with Eclipse is really nice. If you use console logging, you don't even really need the debugger since the generation of the log corresponds directly to the page manipulation. The jdbc integration is better than expected as is the integration with Apache 2.0. There were a few issues with differences between the configuration example and the documentation on the web, but they were simple to work through. I don't quite understand the ADMIN and MANAGER and why they don't pick up my datasources an web applications that were manually coded in server.xml and web.xml but that is for another day. Thanks to all the folks who did such a nice job on these tools. Edgar
