Scott,

I have been using Tomcat for a while now and it seems to scale just
fine. The latest release (Tomcat 4.0) adds some support that should
allow failover and multi-system processing. IBM is not supporting
Tomcat 4.0 on the iSeries (yet?) but so far it runs fine on my system.
Does anyone know where I could find information that describes when
and why Tomcat won't scale?

All Servlets have to support sessions because that is part of the
servlet specification. Tomcat supports the latest Servlet spec,
which WAS does not. You may be thinking of session serialization,
which was added with Tomcat 4.0.

Nathan,

I can't find the Tomcat announcement right now but I was under the
impression that it would support Webfacing.  Maybe someone has that link and
can verify or maybe I will find it.  My understanding was that Tomcat would
support Webfacing but wouldn't scale as well as WAS, of course I sometimes
remember wrong :)
