After readong this complete thread i am now very interested in trying out
resin as a replacement for my apache1.3.26+Tomcat4.04 server i only have
couple of questions and they are how is the support for the linux
jdk1.4.0.1 and also is there any problems with using apache SSL certs on a
resin server?

Thanks
