tomcat 6 start mode setting for production
- by Ryan Fernandes
Tomcat 6 (as a windows service) seems to have a 'Start Mode' with options of 'java, jvm or exe' which can be set via the Tomcat Monitor (system tray icon).
if I set this to 'java', I can see a forked 'java.exe' process for tomcat, if I chose either of the other two, I dont see a separate process.
Anyway, would like to know if anyone has any information about what these settings mean and which one would be most appropriate in production.
