JBoss seems like a bit of overkill for just running Mid-Tier. JBoss is an Java EE application server, while Tomcat is a servlet container only. For Mid-Tier a servlet container is sufficient. As a sidenote, for Tomcat it is not needed to install a JDK. Installing the JRE is enough to run Tomcat. I do not understand why the BMC installer is insisting on a JDK when it's not needed for Tomcat.
Also when you do not need Apache or IIS for some other reason, You could run Mid-Tier fine on a Tomcat instance, using it as a webserver. Hugo On 2/7/07, patrick zandi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
