[Vortech]

Do you need any thing to run java servlets for customers. I have not messed with java servlets at all yet and had a custmer ask me about them. Was looking in to Jrun Ent. but if i don't need i don't want to wast 3,000 bucks on it.

We run windows 2000 if that halps.

Thanks for you help.

You need a servlet engine. I suggest Resin, although JRun is another option, or Orion Application Server.

Resin is a JSP/XSLT/EJB/Servlet engine. It can work with IIS and Apache or standalone. I presume you are running IIS, Resin runs continously as a service on your server, when IIS receives a request for *.jsp or /servlet/* then it forwards it on to Resin which processes it and then send it back to IIS to serve. Its a very, very fast setup, much faster than CGI.

Resin is $500 for a deployment license and it is extremely stable and fast; better than Tomcat etc..
