Spring and tomcat or Spring and Glassfish -

To run a spring application, should I use an application server like a Tomcat (Seral engine) or Glassfish? Thank you very much

Complete without any stand-alone Java application to run spring application It is possible in the form of J2EE container at all. Assuming the application is a form of web-based application (unless you search again like wheels) you will need a container and you will have the option of three categories:

1. Apache Tomcat

2. J2EE Web Profile Containers like Apache Tomie

3. Servlet container (usually including JSP and AL support) Complete J2EE containers such as Apache Jeromeimo

   In order to increase the efficiency of the options Generally, I recommend the container's class pick up with minimal functionality which you now need and is likely to be from short to medium term. I have listed Apache containers as examples, but many others are open and closed sources.

   Most spring based applications which I see (I have been employed by Springsas) are run on Category 1 container (tomcat, jetty, etc.) but still other categories as well as many Running (for various reasons).
