Which app server/db solution for light enteprise project ?
Hi all,
I plan to develop a small archiving application (for video tapes/rushes) using Java Enterprise technology.
As part of my job, I've been working for a while on JOnAS/Tomcat and WebLogic, and also had glimpses of WebSphere and the SAP NetWeaver J2EE engine. We've had Oracle and Ingres databases running, as well.
Now, these solutions seem a bit overweight regarding what I plan to do, so I wonder if you people could advise me to use smaller solutions.
For instance, I had a look at the Java Application Server while using as part of AVK-based certification, and it looked very small and easy - and it's Sun's... Yet I don't know it in details, and it's the same for JBoss or Apache/Tomcat combinations. Regarding the DBs, even using the freeversion of Oracle DB seemed a bit too much, but on the other hand, DBs such like MySQL seem a bit too light...
For the record, the solution should be running on a high-end desktop PC in a small LAN (<10 users).
Any feedback appreciated!
PS: I've been using Eclipse for ages, but I wonder: how's NetBeans?
