Re: [cobalt-developers] New Sun/Cobalt JDK JSP .pkg for RaQs --

["O-S Inc. Support" <support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

	Aside from the jvm for each site, are there any other draw backs? The jvm 
for each site does not seem like a big deal, as long as they can 
manually be disabled.  Or will the manual changes cause problems. 
Change being commenting out virtual site &/or context entries.

	We have been using JRun 3.0 for some time now, but it is expensive when 
dealing with multiple machines.  Jakarta-Tomcat seems to be a more 
affordable and scalable solution.  Therefore we have great interest in 
the JDK pkg for Raq's.  We have spent some time with Apache and 
Jakarata-Tomcat, and so far everything looks good.

	We are about ready to make the switch and install the PKG but we have 
some concerns.  To begin with we already have JDK1.3.1 installed and as 
it is the cobalt came with two other JRE's one with ChiliSoft and one 
for ? We really have no need for the fourth.
	
	I was considering removing the jdk rpm from the pkg file, and make 
changes to the packing list and such.  But the outcome is unknow


If someone could shed some light on this that would be great.  It may be 
several months before we have a spare RaQ to play with.  Due to our 
current units have several sites with Java Applications and Servlets we 
cannot afford for our production units to be down.

Thanks.
