RE: Performance in ASF/TOMCAT

One other thing that's important for performance with Tomcat 4.x is to
download the updated connector from the Apache.org site. The IBM
delivered connector does work okay with 4.x but the newer connector
performs better.

Other reasons for moving off of the IBM supplied version is that they
removed functionality and that there are a bunch of security/stability
issues with the version they delivered.

Aaron,

Thanks for your answer. Well, right now the only app running is iSeries
Access for Web. Our customer is running V5R3 on a 520. I'm not very sure
of how keen would be this customer in using a "non-IBM" supplied
software (I know, I know, Open source and all that, but different
people, different perceptions).

Thanks again,

Luis Rodriguez
