I think that's true for NT services in general, isn't it? I'm not sure though, it's been a long time since I've set up services on NT ;) >Second observation when I start or stop tomcat it seems to be quite slow >and >also when I change a JavaBean. I did not get this on Tomcat 3.2.1 Are you sure the only thing changed was the tomcat versions? We experienced improved startup and shutdown times when moving from 3.2 to 4.x, on both NT and Solaris. But never running as a service. I wonder if running as a service has anything to do with it. Does it take your tomcat the same amount of time to start/stop when running as a service or as a console? >Thirdly my web pages retrieve information from databases after 3 weeks of >running Tomcat 4.04 the pages no longer retrieve the latest data from the >databases. I have cleared my logs and restarted Tomcat but no luck. If you've cleared your logs (did they have any clues in them?) and restarted tomcat without errors, could it be that something else in the system changed? Maybe the databases themselves? >One last question which is the best Tomcat to run version 3 version 4 (as a >service? yes/no). Completely depends on what you want to do ;) In general, I'd say the latest release-quality build is best. You benefit from new features, bug fixes, etc without being too much of a beta-tester.
