Some time ago I posted that maybe Tomcat 5.0 should require 1.4, and Tomcat 4 be 1.3.
News:
Resin 3.0 (the fastest container) requires JDK1.4.
Resin is commercial product and a company make its own choice (see M$).
Tomcat is OSS and follow what developpers/users feel the best for.
And http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux/java2-status/jdk1.4-status.html
I'm using IBM SDK on many differents systems, and for example there is still not SDK 1.4 for Linux PowerPC.
Of course 1.4 is faster, more reflection. (Also: Doug Lea's collections that are fast and threaded are in JDK 1.5.) Please consider requiring the better/faster 1.4.
And as I said previously JDK 1.3.1 is more than suffisant. We could add a note indicating that JDK 1.4 will make tomcat run faster but I'd like to see your own benchmarks to know how faster it will be (5%, 10%). --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
