I like how he starts off the article saying he wants to set up a minimal footprint web server and then the first thing he does is install IIS on the thing. He could have set up Tomcat standalone and had a much smaller footprint. On the + side, it did give him a chance how to set up the JK in that environment. __________________________________________________________________________ Confidentiality Notice: This Transmission (including any attachments) may contain information that is privileged, confidential, and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
