Hi All,
I was reading an old article
(http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-01-2008/jw-01-tomcat6.html?page=1) about
Tomcat to find out whether Tomcat can be used as application serve or
not. This article list that Tomcat 6.x support following features:
·WAR file deployment
·JNDI resources
·JDBC data sources
·JSP support
·Session replication
·Virtual hosting support
·Clustering support
·JMX-based management and monitoring
·Asynchronous HTTP request handling via Comet
·Thread pool sharing
·Non-blocking connectors
·Servlet 2.5 and
·JSP 2.1
Where as lack for following:
·Distributed transactions
·EJBs and
·JMS
For that reason it can't be used as full application server. Is there
any feature I missed in either side.
And main question Is Tomcat application server? If no why?
Thanks
