Application Server Opinions

[Bob]

I am curious about your opinions on Tomcat5 vs Suns Java Applications
Server 8 that it is now giving away free. Which would you use for
production and why so?

I am curious about your opinions on Tomcat5 vs Suns Java Applications
Server 8 that it is now giving away free. Which would you use for
production and why so?

Sun's, since Tomcat 5 is *not* an application server, it is just a
webserver/servlet container whereas Sun's Application Server is a
fullfledged J2EE Application server.

Now what you should actually use depends on your needs, and unless we know
more about them, your question is impossible to answer.
