Servlet Container Debate

[John Olmstead <jolmstead2k@xxxxxxxxx>]

Gentlemen;

 

We are considering upgrading our servlet container to one that supports the 2.3 servlet api and jsp 1.2 api (Yes, I know we are in the dark ages!).  We are running JRun 3.1 in production and are running our applications on a development server (JRun 4.0)  with 128 bit ssl encryption implemented, and the application server takes about 7 -10 minutes to come back after a restart. I don't think this will be tolerated on a production server.  I also have some concern that there will be no $$ for training on a new servlet container, so I'll be on my own to implement, administer and support a much more sophisticated container than what I am working with now.

 

I know we have beat the IDE issue to death, but I don't believe we have had the servlet container debate.  Could I ask this esteemed group to weigh in on issues like support, ease of implementation, compliance with J2EE specification, scalability and reliability for whatever your favorite happens to be? We run Win 2k on our servlet container, which runs stand alone (not connected to iis) with a sqlserver 2000 backend.  

 

Thanks;
