Well...let's see... local to server file system, no data xfer across network. Store image in DB and you have to pull image across net, then shove it out to user. Depending on image size and network latency, the container won't make any difference at all to performance. If you're doing a lot of images, then you probably want to put Apache in front. I have told apache to redirect certain requests to the images directory, while letting my web app write their. Beats ths stuffin out of writing a pass through servlet. If apache and app-server can't reside on same box, share drives or use something like rsync to keep both boxes up to date. As for app-server speed... I've found Websphere to be somewhat slower the Tomcat.... then again.. it could be the @[EMAIL PROTECTED]@$&@% legacy code I'm dealing with too..... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
