Hello -
I have been requested/ordered to deploy on Linux. So, what is my
best approach?
Currently, our site has been humming along rather well on the
MacMini running Tiger Server, mySQL 4.1, WO 5.2.4 and Apache 1.
Hmm, maybe Linux on an iPod?! Ok, I digress.
We will be getting two nice IBM xSeries 335s. So, can I make the
jump now to mySQL 5? Apache 2? Should I just go the jBoss route and
deploy a WAR file? or is there a better/simpler/easier way? Our
development environment will stay OS X and will not change in the
foreseeable future.
James:
I just had luck setting up Apache 2, Jakarta Tomcat 5.5, and mod_jk.
While I know little about JBOSS, I find it a bit "fat" for just
deploying WebObjects applications and if my success with Apache2 and
Tomcat proves to last, I'm going to stop using JBoss for WO. You can
strip JBoss down to a bare minimum, but I haven't tried that.
Meanwhile Tomcat appears a lot leaner and uses less memory (at least
with its default FreeBSD configuration). You CAN serve straight from
Tomcat without the mod_jk adapter if you don't need to serve many
static pages, but then you've got to bind tomcat to port 80. It's
really not hard to get it working. Tuning may require some
expertise, but for my own single application, single server
deployments, the only settings I've had to adjust is java's heap size.
My feeling about this problem is that your WO application should be
the unique component in this system. Why throw JavaMonster or
mod_webobjects into the brew as well?
As for the particular deployment method--stub war, true war, ssdd,
etc.--this choice should be determined by your own comfort level with
the deployment process and the particular deployment configuration.
I've found true WAR to be hassle free, but I bet that if I put a lot
of WO apps on one server, I'd want to find a way to share the WO
libraries between applications rather than bunching them up in each
individual app.
