I have never used something different than tomcat. For my current university project I programmed a WebApplication with JSF and Java EE 6. I have to hand it in installed on a VM with Ubuntu OS.
My fellow student told me that Tomcat7 is not released for Ubuntu (or is it?) and tomcat 6 doesn’t provide Java EE 6 capabilities.
So I want to ask you if there is an appropriate alternative? Maybe something that doesn’t have to require a lot of induction for a tomcat user.
Thank you for your help
I don’t think Tomcat is release for anything.
They just put out a release, and V7.0 (I think as of 7.0.6) has now been declared production ready.
So just create your VM with Ubuntu, install Java, download Tomcat, unzip the bundle and install your application.
