Hi all:
I am picking tools for a large JSP/Servlet project, and tried installing
WebSphere 3.0 Standard Edition along with IBM HTTP Server 1.3.6 on an NT
machine with 128M RAM.
To my great surprise, WebSphere wouldn't even come close to running in 128M!
Upon further investigation, I see that IBM recommends a minimum of 512 M
just to run the service. For the life of me, I cannot figure out why it
needs all that memory - so I am a little leery of it know.
I am currently looking around for other solutions.
The main attractions of WebSphere were:
1. Integrated debugger (as far as I am concerned, this is absolutely
essential!)
2. Built-in support for database-based security tables/realms and ACL's.
3. Built in support for connection pool using the JDBC 2.0 standard
extensions.
4. Tool integration with VisualAge, WebSphere Studio and DB2.
We will also require speed, scalability and load balancing (I don't think
we really need failover support).
Does anyone have strong opinions about an engine that supports debugging?
(I notice that Caucho's Resin product claims incredible benchmark
performance (http://www.caucho.com/articles/benchmark.html). - any
experience with it?)
Thanks a lot,
Ian
