1. Re: tomcat-4.1.24 is default in jboss 3.2.2.RC2
jonlee Jul 25, 2003 6:27 PM (in response to cwa)This one's been done to the death on the mailing list. :) I don't think it is anything sinister. Just more people ask about Tomcat. *sigh*

chrigri Jul 29, 2003 6:15 AM (in response to cwa)Are you sure it has nothing to do with the Jboss Group vs. coredevelopers.net ??
This seams like a politically loaded decision....
So please, core Jboss developers, can you give the _real_ reason?

petino Jul 31, 2003 10:58 AM (in response to cwa)I'd like to see reasons for this change. I switched from JBoss+Tomcat to JBoss (w/ Jetty) and now I should switch back again.

jonlee Jul 31, 2003 5:48 PM (in response to cwa)I should point out that you can still get the Jetty module at the JBoss SourceForge site. We've been told it's just not the default for the binary distribution bundle.

petino Jul 31, 2003 6:43 PM (in response to cwa)There aren't reasons for this change? It isn't problem to switch Jetty>Tomcat but I read JBoss included Jetty because of Jetty's performance. Has this changed?

jonlee Jul 31, 2003 9:44 PM (in response to cwa)Honestly, I don't know whether there is some issue between CDN and JBoss. And I don't want to get political about the stuff.
My own opinion on Tomcat versus Jetty is that I think Jetty is lightweight, fast and more than enough for my servlet/JSP needs. I prefer it. It has a smaller memory footprint. And I originally came from a Tomcat development environment.
Many others complain that they want Tomcat as the default. Fair enough. As long as I have the Jetty option, I'm fine with Tomcat being the default in the JBoss binary distribution. If Jetty is no longer supported in the future, I suppose I'll have to build a Jetty SAR plugin. But the source code is there.
As for switching, you are just replacing one SAR for another. Luckily, with the 3.2.x/4.x releases, the configuration is now all in the one area rather than being spread across many areas. It makes it easier to unplug one and plug in the other. -

chrigri Aug 1, 2003 12:52 AM (in response to cwa)I completely agree whith you.
_We_ don't need to get political.
And, as you say, this realy shows the power of Jboss. It is a remarkably server where you just deploy the containers you need (for instance Jetty or Tomcat).
So i guess we will never know the real anserwer, unless there is some statments from the Jboss Group...
