I'm setting up a VPS system right now and I'd like to prepare it for the
day when I'm ready to take on JEE. Right now I use servlets and JSP
pages. I'm also using the persistence framework in JSE, but I don't use
any of the other features of JEE.
What I would normally do is just install resin to handle my static and
dynamic requests, but I'm thinking of installing GlassFish instead. So I
have a few questions about what GlassFish will provide me. I have no
experience with this product at all, so please forgive me if I'm asking
some obvious questions.
1) I assume GlassFish will handle my servlets and jsp pages without a
problem since these are defined in the JEE standard. Am I mistaken here?
Do you need to have a separate servlet container and JEE container?
2) Will Glassfish also handle serving static content?
3) Is it possible to configure GlassFish to handle virtual domains and
more than one IP address?
4) Will GlassFish handle my needs for a platform to learn JEE on? I
assume this is true.
5) Is there a good tutorial on how to setup GlassFish with the above
requirements in mind?
Please understand that I know that GlassFish isn't meant to be a high
volume web server like apache, I don't have a site that requires that kind
of performance. I'm looking for something that is easy to setup and will
provide me with a platform for playing around with the new JEE concepts.
I have one more question to ask here.. Is Apache Geranimo more suited to
this application? Is it a better JEE container?
Thanks again.
