Jason,
I read your book - servlet programming. It is a pleasure to be able to read
something and actually enjoy it these days. I highly recommed it to any
java developer.
Anyway, I still am a bit confused about a servlet runner VS. a web server
running servlets as threads. What is the difference? Or should I say, when
does one do servlet runner over running them in the webserver? My
understanding with web servers supporting servlets is that you put the
class files in the /servlet directory and the web server magically
instantiates the objects when it boots up.
As far as I know, when I run the servlet runner with IIS it is because IIS
does not support servlets. The Java Web server runs servlets as threads
inside itself therefore I do not need a servlet runner. (Is this true?)
QUESTION: If I am going to run database and computational servlets on a web
server machine (50-200 servlets serving many web applications) which web
server software is the best to use? Is it Java Web Server, Fasttrack, etc.?
Sorry for the confusion, I just don't understand why everyone is using
servletrunners, if in fact web server software should be supporting these
servlets.
