We are still in the development stages, but we'll be running Tomcat 5.5.17 behind IIS and using the isapi redirector. Single JVM, with default memory settings right now.
Since our Tapestry pages look like standard html (i.e. they don't end in .jsp), and since our IIS instance is shared with other web apps, the redirector is told to forward anything in our app's sub directory to Tomcat. So far the only issue I'm having at the moment is Hot Deploy is broken. This is a known problem and it has to do with the way the Windows file system locks the resources (especially Jar files, but sometimes others). Just FYI, the work-around(s) that are available are not real solutions. They involve making tomcat create a temporary copy of the web app for each time you hot deploy. You eat up space really quick (because it doesn't ever clean the temp directories) and it's slow. See the Tomcat newsgroups and bug reports for more info on this, since it's not Tapestry related. In addition, I chose Tomcat because: I'm semi-familiar with it (seen it used with success in the past), compared to OC4J/JBOSS After seeing how some Oracle documentation was written, I just didn't trust OC4J I found lots of threads online about how OC4J sucked I like the Apache foundation products. I knew at the time I could integrate it with Eclipse The amount of online articles/support/tutorials was sufficient for me. A lot of good Tapestry tutorials used Tomcat.

Do you run tomcat? Roughly what does your tomcat setup look like? - If you run virtual hosts do you run all apps in the same jvm or do you run multiple jvm instances? - What memory settings do you use? - Do you use tomcat with apache and if so what connector do you use? Mod_jk? jk2? mod_proxy? mod_proxy_ajp? - Any other tips your can give from experience? -- Dan Adams Senior Software Engineer Interactive Factory 617.235.5857 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
