Hi all! I'm considering developing an app for a department at my university. I'm talking to the university IT department about hosting it. In the past I've only deployed on WebObjects itself, mostly on OSX Server, but that's not going to happen here — anyhow, I don't know very much about deploying Java stuff in general.
I asked about Java hosting, and got this message back: "If you're looking for a servlet container (and not a full J2EE server) and an RDBMS then there is a possibility that we'd be able to provision you a Solaris 10 zone with Apache httpd and Tomcat on it. We wouldn't put a database on here, but would typically make [space in] an Oracle 10g schema (on a separate server) available." They also offered Windows IIS with SQL Server, or Linux with LAMP, but he doesn't know whether they support Java on those platforms (said he'd get back to me, and asked how firm a requirement Java was). Question is, what's the difference between a servlet container and a full J2EE server? Would that option work for deploying WO stuff? Is there anything I'd have to worry about when writing an app with WO to deploy in that package? One thing I'd like the app to do is periodically (e.g. daily) download a data feed from an external source. With a servlet deployment, my app is still continually running so I can use a timer for such things, right?
