Back then I found Tomcat and WAS 3.5 to be roughly similar at low workload levels like yours. > These are 10-40 user systems, multiple clients. My strong advice is to convert an application and try it. For WAS, tweak every timeout you can find to make them outrageously long. I had WAS die repeatedly and it was never stable because the machine was so burdened. Internal WAS timeouts were tripping, and it was not simple to figure out what to address to make it better. IBM pretty much won't help you with unsupported configurations, but you can glean a lot of information from the WAS newsgroups. Tomcat worked OK with WebFacing but it too had stability issues. I never ironed them all out, but I suspect they were workload related. (We're an IBM BP, and WAS is the way to go for us.) WHen I say 'stability' I mean that on occasions, WAS or Tomcat would stop responding and need to be restarted. Or they would throw an incomprehensible message in the log file and need to be restarted. Or they would terminate with an incomprehensible message in the log file and a generic message in the job log and need to be restarted. You get the idea. This whole web world really wants a modern machine like an i5. --buck
