Why should i use Tomcat vs .NET? 2003-10-10 - By Wade Chandler

First off JSP/Servlet aren't going to lock you into one company.
JSP/Servlets are standardized. Sure some differences in servers, but
for deploying an application, if the server you are deploying on accepts
the version of the JSP/Servlet spec your app is in, then you will just
deploy it. Whether it's BEA, Oracle 9iAS, Websphere, Sun ONE Server, or
even Tomcat.
You shouldn't be asking the question why should I choose Tomcat vs.
.Net. You should be asking why should I choose .Net vs. any JSP/Servlet
server I might need for any given task. .Net you will run on a Windows
server. JSP/Servlet containers, you can pick up most OS and Hardware.
You also are not locking yourself into one vendor. If .Net works out
like most MS products you'll think they will be standardized, but they
never will be (if other start creating .Net servers...if they do.).
Also, .Net vs. J2EE. J2EE has been around a long time. .Net is new and
you can bet your back pocket on it having bugs for a long time. Look at
NT4.0 vs XP, or how long it took to go from two kernels to one (Windows
9x vs. XP Home/Pro). J2EE/JSP/Servlet technologies have a fast paced
standards organization. .Net was realeased to ISO (I for one feel the
ISO is as slow as a snail, and out of touch in many areas...tooo
political). Anyone can get in on the JCP. www.jcp.org.
I also wrote a paper on the subject. I would claim it to be brutal and
skewed to the java technologies point of view especially considering the
title. I believe they are simply the better choice for a number of
reasons. Anyways, you can download and read or throw away from:

Maybe they work for you maybe they don't, but you can make a decision
for yourself.

I'm defiantly not trying to....but even after calling up SUN and asking
them to sell me on their technology I've received very little in terms
of pros/cons either way. I've done my share of googleing with no
substantial returns. That's why I'm pinging the users now, what better
place to go than to the them?

Howdy,
Please let's not turn this into another net versus J2ee debate ;) There
are many references online, comparisons, case studies, and heated flame
wars. Just google for them.
