Hi everyone, Not that this list seems to need it, but I thought I'd just stir the pot up a little.
I've just begun running Tomcat as a free alternative for lighter-weight, simpler web applications -- not very high-traffic or CPU-intensive. Lots of JSPs and a few database queries. Reliability is more important than performance; for speed I have something like WebLogic running on a cluster of Sun Sparc-based systems. With that in mind, is it worth going to the source to create a custom build (with all the time and testing that that implies), or is an up-to-date package (I use SuSE Linux 8.2) a reasonable alternative? Right now I'm using 4.1.18, and it doesn't seem much tweaked or modified. I would appreciate any insights or suggestions from the community at large. Thanks in advance! Benjamin Krieger
