Before using Tomcat, our group had spent several k's on JRun 3.0
application server. We have several Intranet applications that receive
thousands of hits per day. Under JRun we were experiencing daily
lockups. After Service Pack 2 for JRun 3 did not fix the problem, I
tested out Tomcat 3.2.1.
We eventually transitioned all of our jsp/servlet applications from JRun
to Tomcat, and have not had a single lockup since. The Tomcat server
also serves pages faster IMO. JRun does not support servlet reloading
either.
>From my experience, Tomcat has high degrees of performance, scalability,
and especially reliability. The only issue I don't know much about is
security. It is not as much of a concern to us as all of our
applications are Intranet-only.
Tomcat has been rock-solid for us and we hope to use it for all our
future Intranet applications, and are looking forward to a production
release of Tomcat 4.
