Jetspeed, Tomcat and Apache - software combinations that work?
This combination was built successfully at PSINet Europe:
- Redhat 7.3 (kernel 2.4.20) on quad intel Xeon with 2GB
- openssl 0.9.7
- Apache 1.3.28
- mod_jk2
- tomcat 5
- jetspeed 1.4
I didn't use RPMs at all, I downloaded source for each and built from scratch; because redhat's openssl is b0rked, I even built a /usr/local/openssl suite and built apache against that. Getting mod_jk2 and tomcat5 to work wasn't straightforward but everything seems quite stable; however, even with 2GB of memory, after reloading the jetspeed webapp a few times using tomcat's manager I can run out of memory - each java process rises to 145MB each!
Note that the memory leak is a problem with tomcat and seems to have been there since tomcat4!
