Regarding the advantages and disadvantages of apache tomcat versus other server formats

[saravanan ragothman]

Dear sir/madam,
This is Saran doing good as an admin, and I have few questions about the
Apache Tomcat Server after reading the documentation. In my workplace we are
using the Tomcat server version 5.0.28 for the web applications(for reports
and scorecards especially) but have plans to move to Oracle application
server 10g in future. but I still insist on tomcat server. Can you tell me
some advantages(and disadvantages, if any) of tomcat server over the oracle
application server 10g, so that we can re-analyse the situation(if there are
more advantages that can be considerable than we stay with Tomcat server).
Since Oracle application server 10g is advertised and marketed better than
Apache Tomcat server, we cannot get into the other side,that is, not getting
the exact detailed advantages of apache tomcat server.

It will be great if you take concerns over the number of users using the
appplication and security of the user and application.

Thanks a lot!
Saran

Apache Tomcat is free (as in beer and as in speech) and open-source. You
can modify it yourself if necessary. You can get free support from
forums such as this one.

Tomcat does not package a lot of things that Oracle will give you
out-of-the box. I'm sure that a collection of free and open-source
products such as Tomcat+OpenJMS+JBoss(or similar)+other things will give
you a similar product offering. Oracle offers this all at once with a
nice bow around it (and price tag attached). Oracle support is probably
not free.
