RE: Shut down IIS and replace w/standalone Tomcat -- consequences ?

[Mark Eggers <it...@yahoo.com>]

Jeff,

I don't see any real system issues, but then I'm not a
Windows guru.

I do see some other issues, depending on what your
intentions are.  With IIS running, you have the option
of using ASP as well as all the jsp/servlet/xml tools
that Tomcat provides.

Before people jump all over me, one of the reasons I
use IIS on a Windows/2000 box is to help me port an
ASP site to a jsp/servlet/xml site.  I can also
integrate Perl and PHP with this in case the site I'm
working on has those aspects as well.

So, if you're developing a new site and have complete
control over the technologies used, Tomcat on port 80,
or Apache/Tomcat might just be the ticket.  If you are
working with legacy systems (ASP, Coldfusion, Perl,
PHP, etc.) then using IIS on a development machine is
helpful while porting.

For a production environment, my preference is still
Apache/Tomcat or Tomcat.

/mde/

just my two cents . . . .
