Tomcat is merely a servlet container while Weblogic and JBoss are full J2EE application servers. That means that they provide certain services above and beyond what Tomcat provides. Specifically, most app servers provide messaging via JMX/MQ, EJBs, and other "enterprise-y" services that Tomcat does not. Tomcat can be made to provide those other services, but generally speaking, they are not available and you're probably better off using something like JBoss or Weblogic if you need a full app server. > If it's a pure servlet but is not Servlet spec-compliant, that is at > best a misfeature and at worst a bug. Agreed. If Alexander can provide more information as to the requirements of this particular application, we might be able to comment on the likelihood of Tomcat actually working properly for this webapp. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAktHqRcACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PCtKwCdFO2XS/nd0ub6jGlj/kcOaIEX XfYAoI/xXgLwdJ3EmN9JfbfV8+2x5OCl =RLgQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
