Exactly per your last point - licensing is a big Goose
Egg.
We've just completed a whole suite of Cognos tool
installs and Cognos are pushing Tomcat. They're app
server is now standardized on Tomcat. I talked to one
of the analyts onsite here and he mentioned that they
are moving away from IIS and towards Tomcat because of
the very same reason mentioned by Stephen - low cost.

cringes. They are not seeing between the lines that
the app server has more
stuff than most organizations desire; tomcat solves
most requirements.
However, for complete scalability, Oracle does win
over Tomcat.
Yet, the OpenSource community is adding features to
Tomcat for that purpose.
For product vendors, Tomcat is great because the
cost for licensing is a big
Goose Egg.

Subject: Tomcat
I have the impression that Oracle isn't keen on
supporting Tomcat with iAS.
Instead, OC4J is supposedly more compliant with J2EE
and is faster.
How popular is Tomcat?
Tomcat is being mentioned more and more often at our
site, I am wondering
whether we are headed for a collision at some time
in the future.
How does this all fit in with Oracle's Open Source
and PHP initiative?
Patrice.
