First off JSP/Servlet aren't going to lock you into one company. JSP/Servlets are standardized. Sure some differences in servers, but for deploying an application, if the server you are deploying on accepts the version of the JSP/Servlet spec your app is in, then you will just deploy it. Whether it's BEA, Oracle 9iAS, Websphere, Sun ONE Server, or even Tomcat.
You shouldn't be asking the question why should I choose Tomcat vs. .Net. You should be asking why should I choose .Net vs. any JSP/Servlet server I might need for any given task. .Net you will run on a Windows server. JSP/Servlet containers, you can pick up most OS and Hardware. You also are not locking yourself into one vendor. If .Net works out like most MS products you'll think they will be standardized, but they never will be (if other start creating .Net servers...if they do.). Also, .Net vs. J2EE. J2EE has been around a long time. .Net is new and you can bet your back pocket on it having bugs for a long time. Look at NT4.0 vs XP, or how long it took to go from two kernels to one (Windows 9x vs. XP Home/Pro). J2EE/JSP/Servlet technologies have a fast paced standards organization. .Net was realeased to ISO (I for one feel the ISO is as slow as a snail, and out of touch in many areas...tooo political). Anyone can get in on the JCP. www.jcp.org. I also wrote a paper on the subject. I would claim it to be brutal and skewed to the java technologies point of view especially considering the title. I believe they are simply the better choice for a number of reasons. Anyways, you can download and read or throw away from: http://wadechandler.no-ip.com/~wchan/ Maybe they work for you maybe they don't, but you can make a decision for yourself.

I'm defiantly not trying to....but even after calling up SUN and asking them to sell me on their technology I've received very little in terms of pros/cons either way. I've done my share of googleing with no substantial returns. That's why I'm pinging the users now, what better place to go than to the them? -----Original Message----- From: Shapira, Yoav [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 10, 2003 11:58 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Why should i use Tomcat vs .NET? Howdy, Please let's not turn this into another net versus J2ee debate ;) There are many references online, comparisons, case studies, and heated flame wars. Just google for them.
