Re:Choosing Tomcat over others (Score 1)

The hot-depoy/redeploy feature alone is enough to sway me to use JBoss/Jetty or JBoss/Tomcat over plain Jane Tomcat. This is simply one of the most useful development-time features for J2EE programming (with or without EJBs). Our consulting company brought in Scott Stark from JBoss Group for a week long intensive training on the JBoss 3.0 internals. Very good, very technical information on the architecture and design of JBoss 3.0. Well worth the money spent on the course. If you have not used JBoss yet, you owe it to yourself to try this app server out.
