Looking for the Best FREE J2EE app server for Linux

[HenryMonster]

Hi All,

I am trying to pick up a good combination of tools for
my low-budget (or I'd rather say no-budget) project.

I'd like to use Java servlets/JSP/EJB to develop
a browser based application
(call it a web-site, if you will).

I have experience with BEA's Weblogic, but for this project
it's not an option due to our budget limitations.

Can anybody recommend free + reliable + fast app server
for Linux ?
I need it to support JSPs (as well as all other
J2EE stuff). Of course the ease of installation and
the possibility to get good support wrap up my requirements
for the tool

Thank you in advance !

Hi,

Not sure that it provides all the functionality of the BEA product, but the main java server for Linux is tomcat. See -->

http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/index.html

. Tomcat does servlets and jsp pages - you can set it up standalone or integrate it into Apache .

Hope this helps

JBoss has become very popular also, at

http://www.jboss.org/

AFAIK it is a more complete J2EE solution. -------------------------------------------
