RE: Tomcat auf MS Cluster?
I agree with Mark, upgrade your Tomcat to a supported rev. If possible, go to the latest 6.0, otherwise, 5.5.x would be good, but it will become unsupported shortly when 7.0.x becomes official. I currently run production 5.5.29 in your environment, but using standalone servers, not clustered. Therefore, I can't offer any advice on the failover aspects. FTR: I use Java 1.6.0_20 64-bit for the JVM. For a standalone environment, this setup runs just fine. If you do stick with 5.0.28, you would need to get the 64-bit runtimes to replace the 32-bit versions that no doubt come with the 5.0.28 installer. Search the archives, I KNOW there are discussions on how to do that successfully. Or you can stick with the 32-bit runtimes and use a 32-bit java, but that kinda defeats the purpose of using a 64-bit OS doesn't it.
