Arne's advice here is spot-on and it is surprising how many places adopt one of the full application servers when Tomcat is really all they need. BTW Glassfish is not technically "dead". What happened was that Oracle will no longer offer commercial support. However, Glassfish is open source so *potentially* it could survive and may even have another commercial entity take over support. It is after all a very good product. -- And loving it, -Qu0ll (Rare, not extinct) _________________________________________________ Qu0llSixFour@gmail.com [Replace the "SixFour" with numbers to email me]
