Re: Tomcat 5.5: Jre or Jdk?
Hi,
AFAIK, Tomcat 5.5 uses the Eclipse compiler, so it does not require a
JDK to compile JSPs anymore.
However, a JRE comes with only a "client" virtual machine. If you want
to run your Tomcat with a "server" virtual machine, you will need a full
JDK. The "-server" option usually provides better performance and
stability on long running servers, so I would recommend it on a
production environment.
Cheers,
Rodrigo

Are you sure regarding this?
I can't see this difference in the sun documentation

What is the "-server" option and how to you turn it on? I thought when you install Tomcat it will ask where the JRE is not the JDK so why do you need to install JDK.
