Hi, > 1) What do people think about Resin 3.x?
It's very cool, and development under resin is much easier, at least till 3.0.8 (haven't tried 3.0.9 and new performance packs yet) > 2) I've seen quite a few people say that Resin is faster than Tomcat. Is > this still true for Tomcat 5.x (not 5.5, but the latest one still using > JDK > 1.4)? Resin is faster as tomcat as long as your pages are simple. Tag heavy pages (which you have by definition using tiles and struts-taglibs) are better served with tomcat. We have compared resin 3.0.x against tomcat 5.0.2x With lightweight pages resins performance is double of tomcat performance (400 requests per second compared to aprox 200 requests per second) With design and tag heavy pages tomcat gets 10-20% better performance. Since you normally have both in your application, both engines are applicable for deployment. Resin is much better in stability, configurability and features. Tomcat has a great advantage of tag pooling in jsps. > 3) In general, what do you feel about the differences between the two > containers? Advantages of one vs. the other? Is it easier to configure > Tomcat or Resin? Resin is near by the specification, resin is much more then just a jsp engine, it's also an xslt renderer, static page server etc. Resin costs money. Resin has about 1000 possible settings for caching algorithms, request filtering etc. Both can't handle http 1.1 (keep-alive-connections) properly. Despite all this, we are using tomcat 5 for deployment.
