Info for Tomcat users: Compared to other containers out there, the Tomcat web container is one of the fastest when it comes to startup and redeploy times. In a survey conducted over the summer ( http://www.zeroturnaround.com/blog/java-ee-container-heaven-hell-survey-results/), Tomcat users estimate spending 18% of their coding time (about 145 hours annually, per developer – somewhere between 3-4, full, 40-hour workweeks) waiting for applications to redeploy. Though considered fast, we thought some folks might want to reduce that time spent even further, so, this post shows how to reduce that by 80% for under $150.
