I have a client who is committed to the Oracle Application Server. They are
also committed to Java as a core architectural component, and of course they
want to be sure they have a viable environment for deploying servlets and
JSPs.
OAS uses apache for its http server, and Oracle includes jserv as the
servlet container.
http://www.oracle.com/ip/deploy/ias/java_2/index.html?ajserv.html
As the apache and mod_jk howtos point out, jserv is considered "feature
complete," indicating that future development is likely to be minimal.
Clearly Tomcat is a better choice going forward for delivering servlet and
JSP functionality within the Apache environment (or any other for that
matter.)
There is no mention on the Oracle site about use of Tomcat with OAS.
Questions:
1. To any developers on the list, what would your response be to this
client who wants to use OAS, which compels the client to use jserv? Would
you recommend jserv as a long-term technology for depoying servlets?
2. Does anyone on the list have experience configuring the OAS apache
installation to use mod_jk? If it were just vanilla apache, I wouldn't have
reservations. However, I have no idea what "value added" stuff the Oracle
folks have put into their product that might interfere. A deja.com search
turned up nothing. (I'm also planning on requesting information from
Oracle...if I receive anything of value I will be happy to post it to the
list.)
TIA.
