Hi! As for long stop/start process with Tomcat service, look at my
solution below.
For development, I'm using Tomcat 5.5.9 on a Windows machine.
Initially my dev-test-cycle was:
- create/modify a file in Eclipse
- stop Tomcat
- copy (with an ant task) files in Tomcat webapps
- start Tomcat
- see the changes
All this took me about one minute and a half. Pretty annoying...
So I begun to look for jetty, but I didn't like to have different config
files for developlment (jetty) and production (tomcat).
Soon, after I found about the Tomcat Ant tasks
(deploy/undeploy/restart/etc.) I'm very satisfied with my new configuration:
- create/modify a file in Eclipse
- press one button in Eclipse*
- see the changes
All this... in 13 seconds.
* I've created a build.xml for my application which uses Tomcat Ant
tasks (undeploy/deploy) and the "magic" button is the "Run" one (which
runs my ant default task on build.xml).
Just like that, clean and simple, I'm using Tomcat in the development
process, without the need to install some Eclipse plugin/launcher.

hi everyone, I'm just starting a new development projet with Tapestry 4.0 and
Hibernate 3.1. I'm looking for the best local server to install on my computer
to make my development.
here are the important point for me:
1- Must be easy to install
2- Easy to deploy with ant and Eclipse.
3- Quick to start and stop.
4- Less configuration possible.
5- Must support JNDI
6- Not to much memory ungry...
Right now, I use Tomcat 5.5.17 with the service installed and I have some problems. Use about 90mg of memory and is really long to start and stop.
I'm considaring switching to Jetty 6, is a good idea?
Maybe some theak in tomcat maybe anough..
Please, let me know what you think !
Thanks
