I've hired a host for a Tomcat/Struts/MySQL site that I've developed under Win2000, my common dev. environment. I'm a Java /DB application developer and this is the first app I've developed without having a sys admin or DBA etc, so I'm new to these aspects. I have no Linux or Unix experience, (though after this I plan to get as much as possible). The host has provided me with a complete Tomcat instance, no shared JVM etc. I've moved the database to their server successfully. I've moved all of my jar files to their servers. I was provided with standard server.xml and web.xml files that I've modified to register my app with Tomcat. Initially I was getting xml error messages but that was my fault and while I think I've fixed the problem, I'm not sure. The main problem at this time is that I cannot start and stop Tomcat successfully through Putty using SSH to connect to their server. It shuts down and when I restart then I get an 'address space already in use' message in the logs. I've never seen this error before but I assume something is still opened and blocking but I have no idea how to go about fixing it.
They did not answered my emails on this for 2 days until this evening in which they assured me they working to straighten things out. So, at the risk of alienating them and pissing them off, I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and let the Tech Support guy work his magic and see if the problems can be fixed. I need a good host with a good relationship since I'm sure this project will continue and others will come along. If it's not up by Friday evening, I'll have to have someone else look at it before I consider another host. This is the 3rd host I've tried out. They got quite a few good recommendations so I really want to make this work. My client is as frustrated as I am and with this terrible job market, I can' t afford to make ANY mistakes. I'm sure you know what I mean. What are your experiences and opinions regarding creating and deploying Tomcat web apps? This has taken me twice as long as I thought it would so I've been working for about $10 an hour. I got a lot of good code out of it and learned a lot but it has been a very painstaking and frustrating experience. Would you do it again or would you use JRun or Resin? I'd give anything to go back to WebLogic! I appreciate your time and offer and opinions.
