Hi > We are porting an application from Resin running on WinNT/IIS to Tomcat on Linux. However, we are noticing a lot of errors coming up on Tomcat that do not occur on Resin. > Is there anyone on the list that has ported an app between the two platforms? What are some known issues in the porting?
Yes, I did. For some time, our app was even supported on both plattforms. The only problem we got into, was that resin automatically parses mutipart post content. Tomcat does not. So we went for commons-fileupload and we are fine with that. Nothing else needed to be changed. (We are only using servlets, no JSPs.) > However, a lot of the errors coming up seem to be java based errors (which is odd, since Java is a write once, run anywhere language). Neither tomcat nor resin are running your classes. The VM does. So there really is no difference. Tell us, which errors come up, maybe we can help. Keep in mind, that you have to develop container-independent. Both resin and tomcat give you some functionallity only with their own classes. As far as I can tell, this is mostly the case only for things which are not defined in the servlet specs. Try to avoid them as much as possible, since they will definitly make your application plattform dependent. And writing an application that supports both is a burden in java. (I think this is really a problem of the language.)
