I am using j2ee technology for open source development since j2ee 1.4 sdk. The Sun Application Server 8.1 and 8.2 were bit fine to start with netbeans. But Glassfish seem to be too slow to start and deploy. Can anyone tell me the fastest and best performance app server to use with netbeans 5.5.
The computer specs are
PIII 500 MHz
512 100/333 MHz SDRAM
What difference does it make how quick the app server takes to start and deploy? That's about the most arbitrary criteria for choosing an app. server I've ever heard. Might as well choose based on the colour of the logo!
Seriously, use whichever one you think you're most likely to encounter. Looking at the spec. of your machine, no app. server is going to run particularly fast. Look into getting a faster machine, or at least a second machine of similar specs to run the server on. Poor thing must be exhausted :-)
Thanks very much for your suggestion.
I know that this spec is too low to run any app server efficiently. But due to some reasons I can't upgrade to new. If you know some better app server suitable to this machine, Please suggest.

Pretty much all app servers (WAS, BEA WL, JBOSS etc..) are made equal.
The differences are minimal and the performance similar.
Performance issues usually come from how an app is designed and the app code, not from the app server.
There is no "best" nor "better" app server. If you're worried about performance, this is not the place to look.

You won't find one that will run satisfactorily on that box. It's simply not up to the job of running an app server and a development environment
