Hello,
We have been doing all our development on WinNT with
Tomcat. Since we will be going live soon at a couple
of clients, we must give them an informed opinion on
the recommended runtime environment. Our apps are mainly
Turbine based and access relational DBs (Oracle, MS-SQL)
and messsaging systems (MQ Series) in the back-end.
Now, as to the servlet engine, it seems that you can
group the existing choices in three rough classes:
* Free (open source, call it whatever you like):
Tomcat http://jakarta.apache.org/
Locomotive http://www.locomotive.org/
JBoss http://www.jboss.org/
* Non-free (price) but non-expensive:
Enhydra Pro: $499 http://www.lutris.com/products/LutrisEnhydraPro.html
Resin: $500 http://www.caucho.com/
* Non-free, rather on the expensive side:
WebSphere (IBM)
WebLogic (BEA)
iPlanet (Oracle?)
I would really like some comments from people who have
actually deployed Turbine-based apps: what servlet engine
or application server did you choose? Why? Has anybody
used Tomcat on a production environment? Is this even
legally allowed? Has anybody used one of the "other"
free engines? One of the low-cost engines? One of the
expensive engines? Any benefits/drawbacks?
Thanks,
