JBoss, Tomcat or Jetty on???

[base698]

Thinking of setting up a test server on a P120 with 40 megs of RAM. Have to get some use out of it right? Is there any reason this would or wouldn't work? OS should be latest Linux with no GUI.

It should work no problems, but performance might be an issue depending what you do with it. The P120 should be fine, but the more memory you can throw at it the better it will go.

Jetty generally has a lighter footprint than TC, since it has been designed and written to be small and embeddable.....

I don't think you'll have enough memory. I've got JBoss 2.4.6 up on a RH 7.2 system (450Mhz, 192 Mb memory) and it works just fine with JDK 1.4. However, it appears that it's consuming about 25 Mb of resident memory, so yeah - more memory would be good, otherwise I think you'll be swapping a lot.

You can strip down JBoss by running the minimal configuration (./run.sh -configuration minimal) ur running e.g. default and removing services from ..../deploy until you break something that you need.

I've no idea what the minimal requirements are, but I would have thought you could tailor a configuration to be pretty small....

Good luck,
