Copying, publishing or distributing without express written permission is prohibited. 27 Tomcat vs. tc Server CharacteristicTomcattc Server Configuration Roll your ownCentralized configuration Management Very limited tools to start and stop local and remote server instances, Limited tools to configure and deploy applications in a reliable way to a large number of nodes Cluster control and configuration management are also poorly supported Integrated distributed management and monitoring solution control server instances deploy applications to multiple nodes simultaneously manage server and cluster configuration monitor all running server instances Diagnostics Upon failure, very little information is available to the admin/developer Common production issues (thread lock, out of memory exceptions) are difficult to replicate and hard to diagnose Continually traces the current server state and behavior Monitors thread activity to watch for potential deadlock issues Production problems automatically initiate a trace report or service dump which are correlated to server logs – provide ability to reconstruct the failure conditions and perform faster root cause analysis.
