Re: [enhydra] Enhydra Server Help !!

Hi Nunny,

the advantages are numerous!

I will try point out just some of them:

Enhydra 6.x is based on new (basically unchanged) Tomcat releases which 
brings you  Servlet 2.4 and JSP 2.0 specification support, numerous 
configuration features (services, realms, connectors, ...), 
administrative and management tools, etc.
As addition to Enhydra Director, it comes with Apache 2.0 plugin 
(Enhydra Conductor - MOD JK).

We have stopped development of Enhydra 5! Therefore, only Enhydra 6.x 
gets new releases with bug fixes, constantly upgraded feature list, 
updated tool binaries (EAF, Enhydra Demos, DODS, Director, Conductor, 
XMLC, Axis, ...), etc.

On the other hand, EAF (Enhydra Application Framework) is now separated 
from Enhydra Server and has become  independent ('Objectweb') project. 
It is integrated in Enhydra Server just as another Enhydra tool (set of 
binaries with documentation) and basically can be ported to servlet 
container of your choice.

Enhydra applications (in Enhydra 6.x server) are deployed in standard 
web application manner (as WAR files) - the way they can be deployed in 
(basically) any other servlet container (Tomcat, Jetty, JOnAS, JBoss, 
...). The only thing you have to do is to adapt some parts of 
application configuration (for servlet container specifics - change 
logging adapter and/or datasource definition manner).

Therefore, if you are able to deploy your enhydra application in Enhydra 
6.x Server you should be able to deploy it in servlet container of your 
choice (this was our goal with EAF separation).

Hope that this is enough to make you consider your migration to latest 
Enhydra Server version :)
