I'm going to try this again. I'll rephrase the question. Scott I don't disagree with anything your saying, but I thought the question was fairly clear. The question is, "I want to know which combos work best in a WWW situation." Combo = OS\webserver\jdk\jsdk\servletrunner My point regarding the Volano test, was that it did not account for communicating through a particular web server. The next level would be to test Apache, JWS, Sun Web Server, IIS, NES, etc, etc, etc... on each machine. So let me rephrase the question. Remember all, I am looking for subjective answers. What works best for you in a production environment. Production environment = live WWW application(s) utilizing JSP or Jsp\Bean and/or servlets interfaces Setting the stage: Using this base computer: Dual PIII 500 512 MB RAM SCSI2 UW If you were to build the best WWW server using this computer, which Combo would you use? Open source or otherwise. Email results in private if necessary.

Right, but the best servlet engines run out of process from the native web server, a la JRun (some partiality there, but where are you going to find a totally unbiased opinion?). So in those cases the web server has nothing to do with the performance of the JVM, JSDK or the servlet engine. The greatest limiters to performance are going to be the user load you are handling and the servlets you run and what they do and how they do it. RMI and database access can take a long time, depending on environmental conditions and coding issues. And then there's how many and the nature of the CPUs you have and what servlet engine you're using, whether it supports the latest Servlet API, and so on. > I want to know which combos > work best in a > WWW situation. > > The volano report doesn't reflect a WWW situation.

The WWW is all client/server, and a JVM is a JVM no matter what it's doing (this may be somewhat naive, but theoretically it sounds good), so I don't see your point.
