I don't share that view. I've setup mod_jk a few times, and it was very straightforward. I followed the docs and ran with it. JDBC/JNDI Resources (another problem that appears regularly) works for me without a hitch, too. Maybe I'm just lucky. ;) As for the rest of your post: I'll spare you a debate and leave it at "whatever works for you, works for you." Some people have an easier time working with the open software than dealing with commercial products. At least have the choice. Having dealt with my fair share of both commercial and free software, the price tag and quality don't necessarily correlate. I've used a few Very Cos$tly Products -- names withheld to protect the guilty ;) -- that required a lot of twiddling to get working, were very fragile once they did work, and "bug reports" were handled pretty much as the vendors felt like it. It's easy to say, "you should have put pressure on them, you're a customer" but when a vendor's large enough and you're bound to their product, that doesn't fly. -QM -- software -- http://www.brandxdev.net tech news -- http://www.RoarNetworX.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
