I have been developing and testing on NT and then deploying on Solaris
(after brief sanity testing). All the challenges I have encountered have
been configuration related. Things like getting the classpath right and
making sure tomcat had proper permissions on necessary files. The app
behaved the same on both platforms.

Subject: Developing on a different platform from production
Generally, we try to to develop and test on the same platforms (Solaris)
that we will be deploying on - but I am curious as to whether that is really
necessary. Has anyone ran into issues of developing and testing on one
platform and deploying on another? I would like to put some Linux machines
out there (a bit cheaper...) for development and testing - but am wondering
if this could cause problems as we deploy onto the Sunboxes. Your thoughts,
experiences, and comments would be welcome.
Thanks!
