Hi all, TL;DR:
Is someone hosting web interfaces, web services etc. in IoT-related projects using Tomcat? If so, under which hardware requirements, especially CPU and RAM and using which frameworks/... for the interface etc.? Did you do so in the past and might have failed terribly, for what reasons? The background: I'm working on some IoT-project creating some device(s) with currently only very few and vague requirements. Some of those requirements are providing a web interface and web services, but another one is that some variant of the device should be used in some battery-powered context as well. If that should provide a web interface/web services as well and how complex etc. still needs to be discussed. Additionally, there's some cloud-based software with its own frontend interacting with the predecessor of the newly created device. That whole stack is implemented using Apache Tomcat, Wicket and Axis 2 and because we are a pretty small company and stuff I would like to reuse as much of that stack as possible and somewhat reasonable. What we currently test is some Avenger96-Board with 1 GiB of RAM running some Yocto-Linux, but it already seems that this doesn't fit to a battery-powered mode. So some far less powerful hardware with e.g. only 128 MiB of RAM gets considered as well. https://www.96boards.org/product/avenger96/ The AV96 with 1 GiB of RAM runs my tested server-software pretty fine, but fails with 128 MiB. With some easy steps the image could be changed to make ~60 MiB of RAM free for my usage, but that simply wasn't enough to start my web-app at all. Tomcat itself ran fine even with only 15 MiB of RAM free, though, unless used with my app. :-) What I would like to get a feeling for is if that approach is even worth following or not. So thanks for everything you share!
