Tomcat

["David Morris" <David.Morris@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Nathan,

That page does compare the latest version of  WAS with a fairly
old version (in open source years) of Tomcat. I guess what they
are trying to say is if you want to do EJB's Tomcat does not fill
the bill.  My experience on the AS/400 with EJB's led me to back
off because my machine did not have the necessary horsepower
and I found it was not necessary in our environment.

IBM implies that there is a scalability issue:

tml

"Customers who require a robust and scalable web application server will
select WebSphere Application Server."

"Customers should select WebSphere Application Server when they need to
deploy e-business solutions that are J2EE compliant, provide the most
function and deliver the highest levels of reliability, scalability and
security."

ns.html

"Known scalability problems may exist depending on the application which is
deployed."
