I would like to run a JSP/Servlet application on Redhat 9 / Apache.

any tips? I'm going to search around now.

www.jboss.org comes highly recommended.

Tomcat is very easy to install. I believe jboss can use tomcat, but jboss is a J2EE provider, much more than just a JSP/servlet container.

Check out http://jakarta.apache.org for more details.

Having developed quite a bit of J2EE, Tomcat provides everything in the book for J2EE. I haven't worked with JBoss, and it might have an easier interface/more features, but Tomcat provides you with everything you need for complete J2EE development, plus a lot of documentation.

That being said, Tomcat is fairly easy to work with once you get in the swing of things. But, I think the 4.1.x version is not production ready. It works just fine for testing, you wouldn't notice any problems. But I've seen problems when it's in a production environment when it's hooked into Apache.

I haven't tried 5 yet.
