Cindy, I'm the last person in the world to ask for an opinion! I'm a student who, until now, has mostly specialised in databases. I ended up working for my Uni for my placement year - many UK students on degree courses spend 2 years studying, 1 year working and a further year studying. Six months ago I couldn't even write a shell script and had never heard of TomCat. Fast learner, eh? To answer your question - I've got TomCat and Apache up and running with modWebApp and everything seems fine. I've got a good handle on what causes the "...not yet deployed" error so I can avoid it. I've never seen errors that are so odd - probably some weird threading issue! I've even managed to get the Manager app and a test servlet running without problems. The next step is to get a much more complex servlet running with multiple users - I guess this will be test. Judging from the list, there does seem to be a large number of questions/complaints about modWebApp and a number of people abandoning it in favour of "older" connectors. I guess this would depend on your platform - mines Solaris 8. I note from the list that Linux and Windows are troublesome platforms! I see no reason not to use modWebApp in production if you can get TomCat and Apache to start at boot without the "...not yet deployed" error.
