Stefan, you can have your jsp and html files in the same layout as an asp application. If you are going to use servlets however, they will need to go into the WEB-INF/classes folder. I don't know of any functionality missing from the Orion application server over Apache or IIS. IIS provides application server functionality over and above web serving through the asp.dll which is a filter. Microsoft have made life easy with the management console (MMC) which provides an intuitive way for creating web applications and virtual directories etc. Hopefully we will see Orion continue it's development of the Orion console (orioncolsole.jar) to bring it up to the same level of functionality.

I was just wondering what, if any functionality that the Orion web server may lack versus the others previously mentioned? I am coming into Orion and J2ee from an IIS Asp background and am little unclear as to the separation of the web app container vs. the webserver? In IIS I did not see such a separation, so when you created an application/dynamic web site, you put all the files (dynamic or otherwise) in the same directory root. With Orion, is this the same or does the static web content have to be separate from the dynamic stuff? Thanks, Stefan
