Sorry about that I should have been more clear. The JVM I used with Apache/JServ is
simply the one that I downloaded from Sun's website which came with the regular JDK
and with iPlanet Webserver they have a VM integrated in the installation however,
they do give you a choice of using another JVM at installation time.
My comments by no means here should be taken as the last word or even of any
significance since like I mentioned before I merely noticed a performance
improvement. I have not had to benchmark any of this. I could do that I guess if I
ever get enough time using very stringent methods since I am a QA engineer at my
job but my interest in Apache/JSERV/TOMCAT as well as in iPlanet is completely
personal right now.
I am very sure that the JVM being used by iPlanet webserver makes the bulk of the
difference. I believe Sun might be using a JVM specially developed for the server
side (Hot something rather it may be called). If I do get some time I will
investigate exactly which JVM is being used by iPlanet webserver.
For me personally, simply because of separation of the servlet engine from the
webserver and because of simple setup of client authentication using digital
certificates w/o a LDAP server and domain etc. grant JSERV a win.
My next project was to get on to TOMCAT and play with that and Apache just so I can
keep up on my personal interests. I am also very interested in TOMCAT's future
ability to be able to work with other webservers as well. Kind of like a standalone
Servlet and JSP engine like Jrun etc.
My hardware configuration for both iPlanet and Apache/JSERV was the same however. I
think what I am going to do in the next couple of weeks is install Apache/Jserv or
Tomcat again run some simple tests with it and then install iPlanet webserver and
make it use the same JVM as I use with Tomcat. This way at least the hardware and
the JVM question would be resolved.
Thanks
