Re: Glassfish on IBM i

[Pete Helgren <pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The two things that I like about Glassfish vs Tomcat is the 
administrative interface and the updater for Glassfish that makes 
upgrading to new releases/fixes very easy.  I am a casual user of Tomcat 
and new to Glassfish so I don't proclaim to be a expert on either.  I 
have been primarily a Tomcat 5.x user and with Tomcat 7 out it could be 
that Tomcat 7 has all the features that GF 3.1.1 has.

I am sure there are many comparisons of GF vs Tomcat out there on the 
web.  In this particular case, it wasn't superior function or 
performance that drove me to GF. I have a client that uses GF and 
although running it on Windows is fine, I have more horsepower and 
memory on my i than on my Windows server, as well as IBM i being my 
preferred server platform.  So, being able to run GF on i was good news 
to me.
