Excuse me if I am talking out of turn, but I am a fan of Apache and a fan
of JServ, but myself and my colleagues found Turbine a bitch to get
running.
This is not a criticism of Turbine, but rather the fact that there are
differing marketplaces for such products and one is not being addressed.
As an example, I was recently asked which servlet runner to use by a
moderately experienced part time programmer. As much as I like JServ I
just couldn't recommend it as it is much more complex to configure that
JavaWebserver.
Now don't assume for one second I am a fan of JWS (we used it for 2
years), JServ and it simply do not compare.. for so many reasons. My
point is that as good as all the Apache products are, there is a real need
for ABC instructions for getting a very basic install running.
Before everyone flames me, I know many of you will say "how simple can the
instructions get!!" a quick read of the java.apache archives show a large
group of users who may be forever lost to apache since they cannot follow
the current docs. That is not a criticism of the current documenters, but
i do think there is a void not being filled for inexperienced programmers.
Anyway , I just wanted to express my views, for what they are worth, and
presently I am trying to find some time to put some totally dumb setup
instructions for JServ on Win32 and then Linux. Then you can flame me for
the poor job I maybe do.
Anyway .. that's my 2c.. q flames..
