Tomcat vs tcServer

[leebutts]

With the latest release supporting tcServer (and making it the default app server) I was wondering if anyone who has experience with Tomcat and tcServer could comment on pros/cons of each and any migration issues.

One immediate question I have is does tcServer support all the Tomcat configuration options? My app requires a few special settings which I had been activating via system properties e.g. -Dorg.apache.tomcat.util.buf.UDecoder.ALLOW_ENCODED _SLASH=true

thanks

hi Lee,
yes, tcServer supports all the Tomcat 6 options out of the box.

There are a lot of details about both Tomcat and tc Server on the tc Server product page. I would suggest reading the whitepaper and watching the webinar recording. Since tc Server is a drop-in replacement for Tomcat 6, you don't need to make any code changes to your Tomcat-based applications to run them on tc Server. Almost all migration changes that people make are related to administration scripting for Tomcat control operations. As Filip mentioned above all existing Tomcat 6 options are supported out of the box.
