64bit JVMs: I thought it may be worth reminding users of my last post on the subject, http://www.javasystemsolutions.com/arslist/view/89035393.
Tomcat/IIS: I agree with the points made regarding an IIS setup being not useful for a single Midtier, however do remember that the "connector" (mod_jk) does offer an easy route to load balancing, ie you can run 4 Tomcats (each running Midtier) on one machine, and have a single IIS instance in front of them with mod_jk balancing What would be a useful addition to the installer is for multiple copies of Tomcat to be run from *one Tomcat installation*, which I suspect involves adding some carefully crafted services to Windows (or scripts in Linux). The installer should ask for how many concurrent users are likely to be using the system and propose an installation that deploys a number of Tomcat instances based on that number and the number each Tomcat could handle with a 1Gb VM. The load balancing can be done via IIS, Apache, or a hardware load balancer. The problem with the ITSM 7.6.04 installer is the sheer number of Tomcat and JVM installations; I counted three (maybe it was four) Tomcats, each with their own JDK. How are users supposed to be able to get their heads around such a complex installation? What's wrong with one, not 3+ JDKs, and one, not 3+ Tomcat installations? -- Single Sign On for AR System http://www.javasystemsolutions.com/jss/ssoplugin _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug11 www.wwrug.com ARSList: "Where the Answers Are"
