Hi,

Browsing the web your page usually is in the top 5 for best hosting providers for Java hosting.
I see that in the Basic plan it says Java + JSP available, but there's no reference to what extent it's available (full JVM, which version, JDCB, etc.) and if there's any additional cost (since it doesn't say "Included").

Can you please shed some light on this?

Thanks! Much appreciated.

Hey Mitch, how about waking up whoever takes care of the plan pages and having them put the prices back in for the "Extras" such as JSP?

I can't tell you exactly what's offered (JVM, versions, etc.) for the JSP. Just to be be clear, if you want to offer Java downloads from your site, you don't need the extra-cost Java/JSP. You need this option only if you plan to use Java Server Pages (your site, written in Java, rather than plain HTML or PHP or Perl scripts). Some people get confused and think that they have to buy JSP in order to provide Java downloads to visitors (they don't). IIRC, it's somewhere around $2 a month, but they dropped the price quote from the LP sales page, so I won't swear to it.

Thanks, for the quick reply.

Just to clarify, I'm not interested in Java downloads. I'm talking about hosting my own Java Class Files/Jar packages/Java Server Pages, etc.

$2/month doesn't sound too bad, although it increases the basic plan by almost 50% Smile

Let me know! Thanks!

lol, MrPhil - will see what I can do.  You can see a lot of the additional features for each shared plan here too:

The Lunar Pages hosting plan uses Resin 3.1.8 Standard.  The 3.1.8 version of resin uses JDK 1.6.x.

Thanks for the info.

I'm an "old school" tomcat user and have no experience with Resin.
Can I also just plug my own jar libraries in the WEB-INF/lib folder here and so use my own Java classes?
If not, how would that work?

By now you may have already made your choice, ewagner.  But yes, Resin is an application server and servlet container, just like Tomcat.

With Resin you deploy your web application just like you would with Tomcat.  Your web application must include a WEB-INF directory, web.xml file and yes, a "lib" folder for dependencies.

A few years ago the folks at Caucho (makers of Resin) made the claim that Resin is 45% faster than Tomcat.  Best of all, the Spring Framework will run on Resin (as it will on Tomcat).
