IBM Websphere and other app server
Hi All,
I don't know whether this is off topic or not. But here is the problem.
I really want to use struts for the next project. And now I am deciding
which app server.
My boss wants to use IBM WebSphere. I don't know how good it is.
The application we are going to develop is not that complex, and not mission
critical.
It will be hosted on Sun Solaris, developed on Windows NT , postgresql as
back end, and Apache web server.
For sure we want to use STRUTS, no matter what app server.
For a small to medium scale project, which is not mission critical, what is
the best app server to use along with Struts, considering ease-of-use,
portability/scalability/performance/stability and of course cost.
We are not going to use EJB, just simple beans.
Any info/input will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Sudhi

I think that the question is not what app server you will use, but well which servlet engine you want to use.
As far as I know, Web sphere is not the best app server that exist on the market (it doesn't support the EJB 1.1 specifications).
Personnaly, I've used Tomcat, Weblogic and Dynamo ATG 5.0, and if you want to use struts I think that the best choice is Tomcat + BAS( Borland Application Server), on the other hand if you want a solution App server + servlet engine, I think that Weblogic 6.0 is a good choice.
Forget ATG.
Thierry.

Hi Sudhi
As Websphere is not JSP 1.1 and Servlet 2.2 compliant there are issues which
make it difficult to use with Struts.
I attached the install instructions Dion Gillard posted yesterday to the
mailing list.

It probably is off-topic, but I'll answer anyway, since I (unfortunately)
know a little bit about Websphere.

Good choice :-).

Since you're not using EJB, and you're not afraid of Free
Software/Open Source, I'd just use Tomcat. It's free, stable, and is
well supported. Not only that, but Struts works really well with it -
the primary author of Struts, Craig McClanahan, works on Tomcat for
his day job. You might not even need Apache, if you're just doing
html/JSP work - we've deployed a project on a standalone setup of
Tomcat. It's easier to configure things that way, although Tomcat is
slower at serving up static content than Apache is.
If you think you might want EJB support, JBoss (http://www.jboss.org) is
worth a look, and so is Enhydra (http://www.enhydra.org). I have some
limited experience with JBoss, and like it fairly well.
