I would definately *NOT* recommend moving away from Tomcat if you only use
JSP and servlets. Tomcat is the reference implementation, it is free, and
unless you need a product with a lot of additional features (GUI helper
tools, EJBs, remote debugging, etc.) there is no reason to open up a can of
worms.
I really like the Orion server but that is for its EJB capabilities. I think
the Orion team strives for making it a great EJB server. - The aim is not
specifically to make it the best JSP/Servlet platform available, so I would
not expect it to be ahead of Tomcat in that sence.
Orion is a great product, but also a more complicated product, so if you can
use a less complex system and still fulfill your needs, then I sure
recommend you do so.
However, should you get to the point where you simply don't think using just
a relational database and several truck loads of SQL really makes your day,
THEN JOIN THE CLUB - that is why many of use Orion Server and Enterprise
Java Beans.
Yours Sincerely
Randahl

Subject: need help getting started
I have been using tomcat for some time now and am having issues with it...
I am thinking about using Orion. I don't do any ejb stuff and only need a
servlet container and web server.
I am having trouble using formbased security. I couldn't get it to work
with the users set up in the principals file. When I would go to a
protected area I would just get a message saying 'not allowed here' or
something like that but I would not get prompted for a pw username.
I actually don't want to use the principals file but have the usernames and
passwds in a data base.
Can anyone here refer me to some documentation on this?
