That’s especially interesting when you try to develop applications which might be used by numerous clients at a time. So I decided to take all the pieces together and try it. You need: The latest release of Netbeans 5 [...]

We found out that the Sun Java Enterprise System WebServer 6.1 has a upload limit of 10 MByte for web applications. Apparently we were very close to that limit for some time without knowing about it.

But I know that people try different flavors of Linux until they find one they like. So why not help [...]
