FW: java platform

[John de la Garza <jd...@designinsites.com>]

Does anyone here have experience running java under Solaris on a sparc and
Linux on a x86?  I am looking to set up a server to run servlets and was
wondering which os runs java better.  I would assume running Solaris on a
sparc would be the best, but I just wanted some feedback.


Im using apache with tomcat.

I have only seen java run on Linux and windows both with x86 hardware.
Was also curious about BSD.

I am looking for the ideal server to run a webserver that will user
servlets.

any feedback would be appreciated.

Using Jspc for precompilation of JSPs

["G.Nagarajan" <gn...@dkf.de>]

Hi,

I am using JSPC for precompiling the jsp pages in my web applications. This
is to avoid the delay when the page gets
compiled for the first time. As far as I understood, jspc creates the .java
files in the specified directory after which we
have to compile them. The web.xml file has to modified to add the
servlet-mapping tag. A sample web.xml can be
obtained using the -webxml option.

I give the following command

jspc -d c:\tomcat\webapps\test\web-inf\classes -webxml web.xml  -webapp
c:\tomcat\webapps\test

The command creates the .java files in the c:\tomcat\webapps\web-inf\classes
and a sample web.xml in the current directory.

The web.xml file contains the servlet mappings like

	<servlet>
		<servlet-name>Login</servlet-name>
		<servlet-class>Login</servlet-class>
	</servlet>

	<servlet-mapping>
		<url-pattern>\Login.jsp</url-pattern>
		<servlet-name>Login</servlet-name>
	</servlet-mapping>

Now, when I try to access Login.jsp, tomcat ignores the above and creates a
_0002f...test.java file and executes it.
But when I change the web.xml to say, (with "/" instead of "\")

	<servlet-mapping>
		<url-pattern>/Login.jsp</url-pattern>
		<servlet-name>Login</servlet-name>
	</servlet-mapping>
it works properly.

Is there any option which will make the web.xml to have the "/" instead of
"\". I am using tomcat 3.2.1 on Windows NT .

Thanks
Nagaraj.

To my experience IBM JDK runs faster than SUN JDK on Linux
and there is no IBM JDK for Solaris. See
http://www.volano.com/report.html
for detailed comparison.

Also I have the feeling that my simple PC with Pentium III 500
runs a java application server faster than SUN E250, both
with SUN JDK, but I did not any detailed tests to prove it.

I'm not sure but I thought about it this way... Sun = java and Sun =
Solaris.

Here's a comprehensive benchmark of one application under a variety of
different JVMs on the x86 platform:

Keep in mind that the results found here may not be the same for your
particular application!
