Resin: The Instant Application Server by Daniel Solin
09/18/2002
Imagine a Java Web application server that runs on Unix, delivers incredible performance, is really easy to set up, and inexpensive to boot. Even crazier, imagine that this little app server offers all of the features you expect from a modern Java server, including JSP/servlets, XML/XSL, and EJB/CMP.
You can stop imagining. It actually exists, and it goes by the name of Resin. In this article, we will show you how to install Resin and get it running; we'll conclude with an EJB/CMP example that shows how Resin makes these techniques easily usable. If you have worked with installations of Java servers before, I think you will be amazed at how fast and simple Resin is. At an ISP I worked for, we had Resin up and running in a matter of minutes.
