Hi all, I was interested to read the differing opinions on 5.0 or not, and I was interested to hear Pier say that he did not think tomcat was an option in a production system. We have been using tomcat 3.2.3 (an out of date version I know) and while it performs it very well under a light load, some strange things start to happen when our site gets busy the only solution seems to be to shut down and restart tomcat (I know that this it not supposed to required on a regular basis is it ?). I wont bother describing exactly what happens because we are using an older version and some of the issues may have been resolved, but we do get some unexpected behaviour under high loads.
Long and short : as a user of tomcat, i would be far more appreciative of a so called "high-availability or hard-edition" than an new "feature rich" version. Just because thats of most use (I think) to me though :-) -----Original Message----- From: Arshad Mahmood [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 25 June 2002 09:12 To: Tomcat Developers List Subject: Re: 5.0 proposal ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pier Fumagalli" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Tomcat Developers List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, June 24, 2002 9:49 PM Subject: Re: 5.0 proposal > [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > On Mon, 24 Jun 2002, Pier Fumagalli wrote: > > > >> That's why counts where not right on my side of the border...

As somebody who also intends to use Tomcat in production (around 10 different sites with a reasonable load, maybe 1/4 of vnunet) this would be very helpful to me. You mentioned a couple of specific things you would like to do. Would it be possible for you elaborate a little more.
