I am new for
Servlet Jsp technology. I learned the technology and wanted to
deploy my web application on some hosting server provider. I am planning for VPS.
It means I need to configure and control every thing. At the time of development I downloaded
the apache-tomcat-5.5.27.exe & set
java & tomcat path, classpath, JAVA_HOME & CATALINA_HOME.
I developed a web application where I expect hundreds of people at a time can come and surf.
On tomcat distribution page I have several installations to download... what I guess is:
I downloaded
Windows Service Installer for development in
Core distribution.
But when I checked the
zip version in
Core section, it is having several different files in
bin folder.
Now I am confused & curious to know the difference & which distribution to use for development & which one to use to install on VPS?
What if the hosting provider has Linux OS. What is Deployer & Administration Web Application distribution for.
Thahnk you....
