I looked at the NetScaler, however a hardware compression/proxy

application server performance running the app than line speed.
The apps run standalone (i.e. not within tomcat or any other
container). The advantage is that you can
run *just* the app on (as many as you want) boxes behind the netscaler.
It does look interesting, these types of machines have been around
in one form or another for years :) Soemtiems theyw ork well
sometimes they do not.
It's really a question of scale. If you need to run thousands of
instances of your app then you really benefit
from solutions like these. If you're running half a dozen instances
then it's simply not worth it.

"caching of static and dynamic content"
Having been bitten by webperfcache doing that, I am curious if you
have seen WO used on one of these? I am curious as to how dynamic
content caching works.

you don't need to run wotaskd if you run your apps behind one of
these. I'm not saying
you should get one.... just that it's an option that I* believe
is better/faster/stronger than
Tomcat (which was your original question).

Hello;
Hmmm, I haven't heard of net scaler?
As far as wotaskd, isnt that only available on Macintosh OS X
and not on other environments?

Hello;
I have been using tomcat for years for all of my web
applications. I am just wondering if there is anything better/
faster/stronger out there for running WebObjects applications.
Most of the applications I write have > 5000 users and are
required to have an uptime of 99.8%. The users of the
applications use them to perform all of their day-to-day
tasks. Performance is an foremost in my mind, as I maintain
all of the applications and assist users with any issues they
may encounter.
Thanks,
Don
