Hello Bernard! I have been out of dealing with these things for 1.5 years now, but that time back Tomcat was giving us plenty of trouble on Linux. Maybe it was our servlets to blame, but anyway it did not look too stable to us. Many a time we were in a situation when the server was overloaded with misterious job.. BTW JDK 1.3.1 used to have a bug that caused Tomcat to crash the jvm in JIT mode.
Well, I've got little argumentation, and I haven't tried those things myself much, but people say Resin is pretty good. And you pay for Resin ($500 per server). Maybe others will agree/disagree but I've heard it is pretty fast and stable. I have played around with it on Windows and it looked nice, but no real world testing, no linux.. I think it's good that you pay for the product because you probably get more stable beast. JSERV would be perfectly fine to stay with because of its stability, although I personally think that develper's life is better woth more recent Servlet API's. They do have usefull functions :-) (If I'm not mistaken JSERV is Servlet 2.0, while the others pull up to 2.3) B> Hi, B> We are currently using jserv on Linux but we are considering to switch B> to Tomcat. The main reason to switch would be to use something more B> current. Otherwise we have only very few complaints with jserv e.g. B> stacktraces missing in log files and occasional restart problems. B> Our focus is stability, quality, scalability (multiple domains per B> engine), good use of resources, ease of configuration and operation. B> We are currently not planning to use JSP because our servlets generate B> only short data messages such as required for servlet to applet B> communication, not HTML. B> Could anybody offer any opinion, experience, recommendations? B> BTW if you think that staying with the old jserv engine is a good idea B> then I would like to learn the reasons for that too.
