I concur. I've been using Resin on my servlets.net account for 6 months and many argue it is the best app server available at a very reasonable price. The online documentation at Caucho is excellent, too.

We have been using it for over a year now and it is incredibly useful to use in a multi-user environment. Additionally, we used to use WebSphere Application Server before and this change has been a blessing for all of us. -----Original Message----- From: Duane Morin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 06, 2003 11:42 AM On Thu, 6 Feb 2003, Ashish Kulkarni wrote: > But now we are moving to websphere, and it is not > possible to have each one one copy to play with on his machine Honestly? Now is a good time to point out to your bosses the benefits of Tomcat for exactly this reason -- cost. Remind them that they use to have an environment where every developer could code and test (don't forget test!) independently at no cost to the project, but if you want to keep productivity up, they would have to shell out for developer licenses of websphere. Seriously. This is a problem that affects a huge number of development groups these days, and it's whats causing lots of people to look at Tomcat. If you're writing good J2EE code then you should be able to demonstrate that something written on Tomcat ports almost invisibly to websphere. If they're not prepared to let every developer have a server, be prepared to have your productivity crushed as you all step on each other's toes on a regular basis. There's no reason why you should tolerate such a bad situation, especially since you *know* how much better it was when everybody had their own. Sometimes you can't just go along with management, sometimes you have to fight back a little bit.
