Clustering Tomcat If my load balancing with Tomcat and Apache article is not what you're looking for - maybe you want to setup Tomcat clustering. If so, check out the tomcat-javagroups project at SourceForge.

I saw a couple of e-mails yesterday on the tomcat-user mailing list asking about migrating a Resin-based application to Tomcat. Turns out that Resin let's you do a bunch of non-standard stuff and doesn't validate DTDs, so migrating can be a headache. So, if you're smart, you'll follow standards and chances are your webapp will work on all appservers. Kinda like XHTML - follow standards and the containers/browsers will follow.

That is the beauty and bane of Resin: you can do it in a standards-compliant way, or you can use some nice shortcuts. These can get you in trouble, but mostly they are just another way of expressing the same information. I wish the specs were more specific on the authentication parts, though, as that is where I see significant divergence with Tomcat.

Kinda like IE for Windows, eh? ;-) I prefer standards b/c it stops me from coding things sloppily and it verifies that I'm doing things according to the spec. Of course, TETO (to each their own).
