    Hi all,

    Just purchased MyEclipse today as I have been waiting for Resin support.

    However, from the release notes it looks like Resin isnt going to be the best choice to use for the short term as it dosnt support things like debugging. Is this going to be fixed in the future or is this dependant on Caucho making changes to Resin?

    Could someone recommend an app server to me to use that integrates well into MyEclipse for plain JSP/Servlet/Tags development (No J2EE as of yet)? I liked Resin as it was very fast and very stable, so no suggestions about using Oracle 9iAS please 😉

    Thanks!

    Weavus,

    It’s first dependent on Caucho supporting JSR-045 to enable JSP debugging. Nothing we can really do until they do that.

    For development I’d recommend Tomcat 5 since it support JSR-045 for source-level JSP debugging and seems to behave nicely in all other ways. You can always do your production deployments on Resin if you prefer its speed, for example.

    Anybody else have a favorite for webapps?

    Thanks for the reply, I’ll look into Tomcat 5 and see how that performs.

    Caucho mentioned a while ago that JSR-045 support was comming (http://www.caucho.com/support/resin-interest/0207/0389.html)

    Resin 3.03 has been released and you support it so it obviously dosnt do JSR-045, do you know if its still part of the JSP 2.0 specs?

    Also is there anything else that Resin dosnt do at the moment that I could enquire with them if they would be willing to support? (For the record, I work for a company with a number of Resin licenses/support contracts so they might be willing to listen).

    Our notes on our findings when testing Resin 3 are available in the FAQ here:
    http://www.myeclipseide.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=FAQ&file=index&myfaq=yes&id_cat=27&categories=Resin3&parent_id=14

    Leaning on them a bit may be just what they need. 🙂

    I know this is pretty far in the past but I just had to comment. How did you arrivev at the conclusion that Oracle’s j2ee container is neither stable nor fast? Its Orion.

    The app server of Oracle9iAS may be Orion but have you tried to use it? 9iAS is so bloated with so much crap it takes hundreds mb’s diskspace just to install it. Its like they included a spare kitchen sink just in case.

    I’ll stick with Resin or Tomcat thanks.

    You won’t be so upset when your sink goes out and you have water going everywhere 😉
