Apache Tomcat 7 is finally here! This is the first major Apache Tomcat version update in over 3 years. A lot of new features and enhancements that make this new release easier to use, faster and more reliable. This version now supports Servlets 3.0, JSP 2.2 and EL 2.2. It includes improvements such as web application memory leak detection and prevention (new features in manager and admin web ui), asynchronous support, annotation-based configuration, improved session tracking, and method invocation using expression language. List goes on. The Tomcat code-base itself has been cleaned up and extremely optimized for high performance, stability and security.
We are still offering 5.5 and 6, but for those of you on the cutting edge, 7 is ready to go.
Keep on coding! |

I find it hard to believe that Internet is 40 years old today! It has definitely come a long way and each and every one us regardless of what we use it for have been involved in defining, shaping and improving it to the point it is today. There are days that I wonder how we used to live without it. Internet today is the true manifestation of the "information super highway" that once we only dreamed of. In the world of entertainment, it has become an important and viable resource. Having access to unlimited number of games, watching movies, listening to music and joining chat rooms, all from the comfort of our leaving rooms! Finding and purchasing products across the globe and utilizing services such as banking, purchasing tickets, reserving hotels, or looking for a job in a matter of minutes would've never been possible without Internet. What a fantastic experience!
Happy 40th Birthday! |

Even though we are trying to keep this blog more as a Q/A blog, but due to many number of questions about Siteworx vs. cPanel we decided to post something here! We get a lot of customers asking us why we use Siteworx and not cPanel. Our many years of experience has shown that building with cPanel is a constant uphill battle due to the fact that it requires changing the way Linux operates.
