7.0.1 Midtier upgrade fails to provide Tomcat performance

[Gareth Oliver]

** Environment:
Windows 2003sp1 (VMWare)
MS-SQL 2003 sp3
ARS 7.0.0 p2 >upgraded to> 7.0.1
Mid-Tier 7.0.0 p2 >upgraded to> 7.0.1

I upgraded ARS & MT to 7.0.1 eagerly anticipating the much sought after performance increase that Tomcat brings. Unfortunately the performance on the upgraded server runs as if ServletExec is still installed.

As part of the MT upgrade, I uninstalled MT 7.0.0 completely, including ServletExec and remove the filters from IIS. I removed the \Program Files\AR System\Mid-Tier directory completely. I then installed MT 7.0.1 with Tomcat on IIS.  But after a restart the performance was still the same as it was on ServletExec.

Next, to check if there's anything in the upgrade, on a new server I installed ARS 7.0.1 and MT 7.0.1 with Tomcat) fresh, and that showed ther performance gain I was expecting.

Anyone seen this before? Any ideas how to resolve?

Thanks
