Costs - the only way I can get a private Tomcat JVM in South Africa, is dedicated hosting. Ie, renting a complete machine. Costs are about 10x as much as shared VM.
As I said, I have a private VM at a US based account and it works beautifully, but in South Africa (where the app MUST be hosted), we do not have that option without very high costs. --- Gabe Wong <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am not sure how a private JVM on a VPS or on a > regular shared OS can > be more difficult than the challenges you are > facing with the present shared JVM.
