Is Tomcat a good solution for me?

[Gary Kuznitz <do...@theoffice.la>]

Hi,

I'd like some help in figuring out if Tomcat is right for me.  I currently have 
PWS running in '98se with ASP pages.  I have very little traffic.  I'd like to 
use the same web pages I currently have.

I'd like to move towards XP Pro.  
My first question is should I use Tomcat to replace PWS?
Should I install Apache at the same time or will Tomcat suffice my needs.  I 
don't expect to expand the web pages.
Can I install Tomcat on the same PC PWS is currently running and use a 
different port for Tomcat while I am testing/configuring the same web pages.  
After I know it works I would want to swap ports between PWS and Tomcat.  After 
I know Tomcat is fully functional I could remove PWS.
I don't currently have the XP Pro box.  I'd like to migrate everything to 
Tomcat on '98 if I could.

Any and all suggestions are welcome.  If I haven't given enough information to 
advise me please let me know.

Thank you,

Gary Kuznitz

I'm not quite sure if I understand you correctly...but Tomcat cannot  
serve ASPs.  It serves JSPs and servlets.

If I've misunderstood, and you're intending to migrate from ASPs to  
JSPs/servlets, then I apologize.

These two sentences make me think the following:
PWS is basically nothing different than IIS, but compiled for Windows 98.
As Windows XP comes with IIS this is propably the best chiose for you.

There you have asp and you can use the components already do.

If your content is static pages, the Apache might be a better option. If you
are using Java Servlets for dynamic content, then Tomcat would work fine.
You may have to adjust some of your code to match changes in the runtimes.
If you are using ASP, I don't think Tomcat is for you.

You should be able to run PWS and Tomcat at the same time on different
ports.

Remember that Tomcat is a Java centric servlet container. It can serve up
static content but is primarily suited to run and control your Java
Servlets.
