Ultimately what this all boils down to is the age old question of business cases for anything. What does it cost the IT department to install and support tomcat? What does it cost to develop the entire application in two different environments? It is better for the business, to do this in the most cost-effective way possible. Unless the IT people can demonstrate that it costs too much to support this, then they should just cope. The job of IT and developers is to find the most effective way to get the job done. Sometimes IT is right to shoot down the developers, but it doesn't sound like that's the case here. ---Steve -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
