Greetings:
I'm part of a team working on a project to evaluate performance issues
concerning implementing servlets and JSPs for our customer, which is a
big government agency. The end result will be a series of recommendations
to go or not to go in this direction and, if it's a go (as appears
likely), to also recommend implementation strategies.
Every time the subject of JRun as a servlet engine comes up at our
meetings someone voices the opinion that because it's an add-on to the
web server, via the connector, instead an integral part of the server
itself (e.g., as in Netscape server), that it would be slower. While this
sounds reasonable, I was wondering if there is any data to back this up.
Does anyone know of studies done to evaluate the performance of
application server/servlet engine products and whether these indeed show
that plug-in engines are any slower than those already built into the
server?
Actually, I'm interested in detailed performance evaluations/comparisons
involving any aspect of server-side Java and would appreciate
leads there too.
Thanks in advance,
Bruce Altner
