OpenVMS is still stuck on Tomcat 4.1 Not true - Tomcat is pure Java, and the 5.5 levels will run on a 1.4 JRE. have you ever read catalina.bat? I have enough Java to be worrying about that I don't want to have to start re-writing start-up scripts in DCL (OpenVMS shell script). > 3. OpenVMS does not allow 'tail' access to log files! That's hard to believe, otherwise JRE 1.4 would not be fully compatible with the Java spec. After 3 years working with OpenVMS I can assure you there is no 'tail'. Tomcat log files *cannot* be viewed while Tomcat is running. So you have to divert all logging output to Standard Out and then view the log file of the process that is Tomcat. This file only outputs from the buffer at intervals. > 4. Can't run JBoss, Apache 2, etc. You can certainly run JBoss, since, like Tomcat, it's pure Java. At least the 3.2 JBoss levels run on a 1.4 JRE, not sure about 4.0 JBoss. As above, I want to write Java, not shell scrips. Porting JBoss is just not worth the effort. > 5. JVM on VMS has more bugs than a roach-infested sewer. > 6. .jar files have to be "steamed" before the can run on OVMS. Now that sounds serious.
