Hi Arni, About three years ago we went through many web servers in the market and found Tomcat simple to install. We found it simple because we had a lot of exposure to different web servers that run in a number if different environments and an extensive background in the various programming and scripting languages targeting the web development especially in the area of java.
What we did find was a lack of documentation beyond the "out of the box" install type.The way we resolved this was to use this great e-mail list and constructed our own internal knowledge base in addressing the various issues we encounter on a day to day basis.(we now do this as a standard procedure with all our open source projects, I'm sure there is a similar archive maintained by the apache/tomcat group ) Till this day I think I've only ever had to post two e-mails, this is my third - thanks for the opportunity :-) Regards, George Shafik "Great works are performed, not by strength, but by perseverance; yonder palace was raised by single stones, yet you see its height and spaciousness. He that shall walk with vigour three hours a day, will pass in seven years a space equal to the circumference of the globe."
