Hi,
I am Vijayan. I have GNUJSP 1.0 working on Apache 1.3.9/Apache Server
Jserv 1.1/JDK 1.2 on a RedHat Linux 6.1. I am currently
working on a portal site that requires a lot of dynamic content to be
served. I have tried both GNUJSP
and TOMCAT 3.0. I have experienced the following
differences/difficulties between the 2 implementations:
1. GNUJSP is relatively faster the first time around, but is a bit too
slow on subsequent refreshes. Further, the processor
load is relatively quite high when I use GNUJSP (with
autoreloadclasses set to false) for refreshes.
2. When I try to load complex/large JSP files, the jsp file fails to
compile complaining that it is short of memory while
the same file loads (eventhogh a bit slowly) perfectly fine in
tomcat.
3. At times (when several exceptions generated and not caught) the
tomcat engine just puts the processor into a
very high utilization state (above 90%) and this state continues
till tomcat is restarted. Further in such situations,
the tomcat server cannot be halted using the shutdown.sh script and
has to be forcefully terminated by killing the
corresponding java processes.
4. I find that there is absolutely no documentation available on TOMCAT
configuration settings. The config file is a bit
too cryptic. Even the startup script gives away very little in
terms of configuration. Hence, I have been unable
to create custom zones. I also find that the JSP files load up
only if they are placed under the examples directory
(probably redirection using AddHandler is not working, but Apache
is parsing server side HTMLs). I would
also like to disable the caching feature in a development mode, the
absence of which makes life very difficult.
5. I have also noticed that Tomcat runs its own WebServer. Is there a
way of staring on the AJP services so that
the additional overhead of running an unnecessary web server can be
avoided.
Thanks
