Can anybody give me a high level architecture/design involved in tomcat 3.x
such as, when a request comes from a client then what are the steps involved
to process the request and send it back to the client. (Assuming tomcat is
integrated with Apache (or any web server) in a separate JVM).
If someone can differentiate between tomcat 3.x and tomcat 4.x's design then
that would help me.

Hi, I am in the process of investigating to choose a servlet container
for
our project. I am wondering if we should start off with Tomcat 4.0 or
Tomcat
3.2.1. Can anybody tell me what are the major differences in Tomcat 3.x
and
Tomcat 4.x?
A couple of major differences among others will be:
o Support for Different Specification of Servlet JSP
o Architecture
I think the most important difference for someone considering which to use
for a production site is that 4.0 is still in beta, and is likely to be for
a while
yet since the servlet 2.3 standard isn't expected to be finalized for at
least
a few months. I don't believe the Apache connectors are ready yet (I could
be mistaken though).
3.2.1 is a production release: if I were setting up a business-critical/
job security-critical site, I would use it rather than 4.0. If it's a
non-critical
site and you'd like to get used to the forthcoming 2.3 standard, 4.0 will
put
you ahead of the curve.
