The best java web server

Hi.
I've been doing tests of an application in both Tomcat and Sun Java System Application Server, sometimes Tomcat load the pages faster than the other.
So, what server provides the best performance (not only the two mentioned, but all)? or what server would you recommend me to use to install the application?

I wouldn't look at performance only, I would look at stability and management first. Performance is greatly depending on the used hardware. While Tomcat might be a little faster than Sun Application Server (haven't noticed that myself really), it also has fewer capabilities.
for production environments I would look into JBoss or Websphere. Beware that Websphere is not free, but it is a fine product.

  • The Best Java Web Services Technology for Developing Web Services

    Hi,
    I am new to Web services world.
    I read the java web services page . there are more than 6 technologies.
    JAX-WS,
    JAX-RPC,
    JAXB,
    SAAJ,
    JAXP,
    WSIT,
    XWS-Security
    I went through several documents on web services.
    I could not get a clear idea of which technolgy to use.
    Which Java web service technology will be the best to develop web services independant of language, platform.
    or is there any 3rd party implemetations available ? for rapid development of web services.
    Could anyone help me !.
    Thanks in advance.

    Which Java web service technology will be the best
    to develop web services independant of language,
    platform.
    Java by nature is a cross-platform language, so if your focus is on the need for portability, the choisce of WS should not be a problem. However, each WS is best suited for paricular uses.
    SAAJ, a low-level level API, offers much simplicity, but is not the first choice for programmers, as SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol)messages need to be constructed piece by piece, making it a quite arduous code to program.
    If you are not familiar with XML, your best bet would be to use JAX-RPC (Java API for XML-Remote Procedure Calls), as it hides the underlying detail from the programmer, in terms of SOAP and XML. The shortcoming with RPC-based WS is that it is "restricted to the local programming experience". Another failing is that assumes there is a network path- a reliability concern.
    If your program will be contacting other services during downtimes, unlike JAX-RPC, JAXM is quite useful. However, your listing did not mention it, so I wont cover it.
    JAXR is a client-side only API that acts as an interface between registries (not referring to JAXP)
    I am not famiiar with JAXB, JAXP, WSIT or XWS-Security..
    or is there any 3rd party implemetations available ?It depends on what platform you are used to. Assuming you are familiarized with the J2EE platform (now changed to Java EE SDK), the NetBeans IDE (either 5.5, 5.5.1 or the latest editiion) is quite useful. I am using 5.5.1, but have found that it is quite buggy, especially when adding WS operations, a core requirement of a WS. if you will be using to devlop a service for an immediate need, you may find the learning curve to be a bit high, in terms of getting to grips with how to use it. (Download link:
    http://www.netbeans.info/downloads/index.php)
    The IBM Autonomic IDE (or AIDE), based on the WSDM standard, includes 3 sub-tools, icluding the IBM Manageability Endpoint Builder which, according to their website, allows individuals to build endpoints to allow manageability interface exposure; Manageable Resource Browser and the IBM Manageability Endpoint Simulator. However, I'm not familiar with this IDE. (Download link: http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/aide/download)
    The .NET Framework uses the Visual Studio IDE. For an unbiased comparison of J2EE and the .NET Framework in terms of WS, see http://www.webservicesarchitect.com/content/articles/hanson01.asp.
    Apache Axis2, Geronimo and JiBX allows fast development of WS, or so the creators profess.
    The PHP environment- you could try NuSPHERE PHPed. According to one website, with it you can develop a web service in under an hour.
    I hope this was useful to you.

  • Which is the BEST Java Web Service Framework to use?

    Hi all,
    I'm a beginner to Web Services.
    I am planning to implement java web services to make the communication between java(Tomcat Server) and C# client.
    I found list of web service frameworks like,
    1. Apache Axis,(POJO,Axiom)
    2. JSON-RPC,
    3. Java Web Services Development Pack ,
    4. Web Services Invocation Framework,
    5. Xfire,
    6. XML Interface for Network Services. ...
    Please do reply me that which web service framework will be efficient to use.

    But, I want to know which Framework will provide
    better performance?
    better than what?
    Also I want to develope the web service as a standard
    one andeach has it's own quircks and implementation details. Each should be able to generate and accept the same SOAP messages though if you implement them properly.
    It should be able to provide bulk data exchange.
    That will depend in large part on your hardware.
    Please suggest a web service framework
    (Java-based) which will give better performance.again, better than what?
    Better than messenger pidgeons?
    Better than swallows (European or African)?
    And if so, how heavy would the message capsule be? 2 swallows may be able to carry a coconut together, holding it on a piece of string.

  • Perl Buffer Issue on Sun Java Web Server 7_3

    I currently migrating a website built using Perl on Apache. I was able to setup the Sun Java Web Server to run the site without any errors. During testing we noticed one small anomoly that I just can't figure out. Many of the Perl scripts run for 30+ seconds. The scripts render a portion of the response, HTML, that displays a status to the user. In Apache this displays fine, but in the Sun Java Web Server nothing is displayed until the script is complete. We have the "$| = 1;" command sprinkled throughout the scripts to properly flush the buffer, but that doesn't seem to work. Is there a config option that I'm missing that will help flush the buffer from CGI programs? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I made the change in my /webserver7/https-webserver.fmr.com/config/obj.conf file. Here is a complete copy of my obj.conf file. I've restarted the webserver instance and still the buffer doesn't seem to be flushing anything to the client until the perl script is done running.

  • Sun Java Web Server 6.1SP4 deadlock, stops responding

    Hi, i have a java web app on a Java Web SErver 6.1SP4 and when there are a lot of users the web server hangs, it stops responing. After a while (from 2 to 15 minutes) it start responding again. This serves neither dinamic nor static content. CPU usage is 100%. Just stoping and restarting the web server instance it works properly (even with the same or greater number of clients).
    Reading many posts some one wrote to use pstack to see whats happening. I did it, but i can't interpret results (i think there is a deadlock but don't know if thats true and how to resolve it).
    Any hint will be appreciated

    hi
    sorry for the delayed response.
    well, the problem that you are trying to run into is very common when your server is getting good amount of load and uses large amount of servlet/jsp web applications running.
    here is a url that you might find it a useful read
    http://java.sun.com/docs/hotspot/gc1.4.2/index.html#4.%20Types%20of%20Collectors|outline
    if you do not want to take this trouble reading this document and want a quick solution, you do can do couple of things:
    - first understand how to size the heap
    http://java.sun.com/docs/hotspot/gc1.4.2/index.html#3.%20Sizing%20the%20Generations|outline
    - understand that the system is paused because jvm is busy doing garbage collection before allowing the web server to continue.
    - this can be avoided by properly tuning the jvm to how you think the server should behave. unfortunately, there is no miracle one one line to fix this issue
    - by careful and decent analysis of your system, you can tune your jvm properly that it can scale very well without any glitches.
    though, you will need to take the pain to learn the garbage collection acronyms and see what's best suited for you.
    - first, you want to know what is happening inside the jvm before you proceed to optimize . you can do this by adding this option
    -verbose:gc -XX:+PrintGCDetails
    How to add this option in the server.xml , is by doing something like
    start admin server -> manager your server -> click Java tab
    -> click on JVM Option in the left side
    -> Add this JVM option -verbose:gc -XX:+PrintGCDetails
    -> restart the server
    -> note, you do NOT want to leave the above option in the production environment as this will tremendously slow your application and this is meant to be only for development purposes.
    - if your server is a multi processor server (has more than 1 CPU) and you want less pause time, you can typically try adding this jvm option to your server and restarting it.
    -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+CMSParallelRemarkEnabled
    here are few other short cut , jvm options that you also try in your devleopment environment before going to production.
    Server application(Like Web Server 6.1) running alone on a large multi-processor server with 4gb of physical memory.
    #java -server -XX:+AggressiveHeap
    Two applications running on a large multi-processor server with 4gb of physical memory. Each java application instance is allocated a part of total system memory by an explicit specification of the maximum and minimum heap sizes.
    #java -server -XX:+AggressiveHeap -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m
    (again, do your research before you use this option in the production environment)

  • Help me choose a Java Web Server?

    I'm using Ubuntu 9.x and looking for a Java Web Server. I'm really lost as there are far too many out there and there seems none is the de-facto standard used by large corporations.
    My criteria are:
    - FREE for commercial use (requirement)
    - ease of use for installation and configuration (I'm a beginner)
    - good support from the commercial book industry is a huge plus
    - well integrated with eclipse is a huge plus
    - plenty of documentation and free community support
    - one of the major releases such as Apache Geronimo, GlassFish, JBoss, WebSphere and etc.
    I'm not concerned about major performance issues, but less hardware resource demand is better. I'm on a VPS with 256-512MB RAM.
    Any suggestions? What is the most popular one?
    I'm really lost so any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    Frankly, I'm not clear on differences between application and web server although I read this article. It sounds more like I will need an application server for my intended website with will have similar functionality as Facebook.
    Things I am likely to need are DB connection pooling and clustering since I'm hosting in the cloud.
    However, I have limited experience with a Tomcat and Java EE so I frankly don't know what I need although I have built a web site hosted on Tomcat. I figured with an Application Server I have the option of scaling to my needs without having to migrate. Then again, am I planning too far ahead and that migration isn't really that difficult?
    With that said, are there any case studies of large web sites using Tomcat strictly successfully?

  • When using the built in web server, is there a way to specify a different

    When using the built in web server, is there a way to specify a different error handler when you try to access a NON .CFM file? Right now I get the standard:
    java.io.FileNotFoundException: filename.ext
    Is there any setting to override this and direct the message to your own .cfm template? The missing template handler in the CF Admin work only for .cfm files.
    Thx

    The in-built web server for ColdFusion 8 is JRun. I am on ColdFusion 10, however, and so cannot offer hands-on advice. (CF10 replaced JRun with Tomcat.)
    My guess is that you have to modify the file {CF_ROOT}/WEB-INF/web.xml. Don't forget to create a back-up first!
    You may then proceed as follows.
    1) In the ColdFusion root (CF_ROOT), create the file myCustomFileNotFound.cfm. Give it some content, like
    My custom File Not Found page. Current time: <cfoutput>#now()#</cfoutput>
    2) Open the file {CF_ROOT}/WEB-INF/web.xml in a text editor. Add the following error-handling specification just before the end tag </web-app>:
    <error-page>
    <error-code>404</error-code>
    <location>/myCustomFileNotFound.cfm</location>
    </error-page>
    Save the file web.xml.
    3) Restart ColdFusion. Test by browsing to a URL requesting filename.ext

  • Do i need a network card to install and run a local java web server

    Friends,
    Do i need a network card in my computer to install and run a local Java Web Server or any Web Server.

    network cards are only for connecting equipment together... you can set up a webserver without any more equipment than you have already! Indeed Tomcat... BUT you would be better off with apache for production stuff. It depends what you need to serve... if its mainly static pages (i guess it probably isn't) then apache will be enough by itself; but if you need to serve dynamic pages (JSP, Servlet blah blah) then you will need tomcat. Tomcat has it's own webserver and its perfectly ok for testing or low-load stuff, but you can integrate with Apache (a moderately compex task, but do-able, see tomcat-user forum off of apache site) for greater stability, and you don't have to show the port in the URL... Don't set up a webserver on any pc that contains stuff you don't want hacked into... it becomes very succeptible when the service is up...

Maybe you are looking for
