I downloaded a fresh Hibernate and unzipped it.
In hibernate-3.1/etc/hibernate.properties, we have:


It looks like I have to choose between InnoDB and MyISAM. What if some of my tables are InnoDB and some MyISAM?
I had posted a question regarding the topic above in the Tomcat forum. I would like to hear what ppl in the JBoss forum have to say about it. Kindly contribute your views there : https://coderanch.com/t/86272/Tomcat/make-do-just-Tomcat-OR

Thank you.

Hi,

May I know :
- when do I REALLY need to use an app server like JBoss and
- when a web server like Tomcat is sufficient/enough for my needs ?

I noticed that Tomcat itself has the following :
- provides its own JNDI service
- provides transaction management & resource configuration support through the use of Tyrex 1.0 - allows user to obtain JTA/JCA resources from JNDI namespace, as well as the standard javax.transaction.UserTransaction.

I have the feeling that Tomcat is rather complete for a not-too-complex-webapp. It even has JNDI service, transaction management etc (what else ?)

Of course the obvious answer would be...if you need EJB, then you must use an app server like JBoss. But if I don't use EJB, what kind of features that Tomcat doesn't have that I must use JBoss ?

On the other hand, I think most people just go directly with JBoss, since JBoss includes Tomcat anyway.

I am building a not-too-complex-webapp. I just want to be able to justify when I should use JBoss. I don't want to use a hammer to kill an ant.

Thank you lotz.
