Resin Released Under GPL

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the choices-are-good dept.

JohnA writes "I can't believe this hasn't received more attention than it has, but Caucho Software released their award-winning Java application server Resin under the GPL. This means that you are no longer bound to Tomcat and its less-than-stellar performance when deploying Java-based web apps."

  1. I didn't think Tomcat was an app server... by BeatdownGeek · · Score: 5, Informative

    I didn't think Tomcat was really considered an app server, since Tomcat doesn't support EJBs. Tomcat is just a "Servlet/ JSP container," which JBoss happens to use now in its app server.

    Shouldn't this be compared to JBoss or Sun's app server (I forget what they call it)?
