JBoss I believe uses Tomcat as an engine. Resin may be faster - although I havn't seen any recent performance comparisions. Tomcat used to be the slower of the bunch. > 1) Is there any site which works on the above combination and high traffic > scenario using web macro ? Are there any performance statistics available ?

Obviously this isn't dynamic - its just a system to be able to author content. In terms of Velocity caching the templates the OS usually caches commonly used files anyhow. > 3) From your perspective, how does velocity compare to webmacro and cocoon > ? I havn't performed direct comparisions in terms of performance, however we changed from WebMacro about two years ago due to certain features being available in Velocity. We can now deliver custom PDF's, and OpenOffice documents using Velocity. Its fast and you can replace them at runtime without issue - where its not so easy with JSP in practise. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
