In 1999, Sun donated the code to the ASF which was merged with the existing Apache JServ product. The name "Apache Tomcat" didn't exist until the donation of code from Sun. 15 years ago (1997), it was called Apache JServ and it was very immature. It took until 1999 for it to be released as 1.0. I remember helping evaluate Apache JServ versus Sun's Servlet Server (can't remember what it was called at the time -- definitely not "Tomcat") and coming to the conclusion that JServ was unstable and non-compliant (and a pain to set up, because it required a web server in front!). - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.17 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlBH0LUACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PDXtQCfWBnGkOy3BMXPwn4++Xa63f10 jrMAnj3hB1PIZJgVgF8z72n40P8XcZyu =Scv8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
