Hi Anton,
There are a lot of reasons why enterprise level companies might choose resin to host their app. One reason I could think of right off is the necessity to run legacy apps written in java. But the main reason is speed. Resin kicks all other servers right off the page when it comes to performance. And yes, that includes apache. I used resin to host my java apps for years and never had an issue,
Agreed so far (I work for an ISV with a Java product aimed at enterprise customers).
but haven't ran it with php so I can't comment on it's implementation.
It was the relatively untested PHP on Java implementation aspect that I was commenting on - it seemed a little incongruous from an enterprise calling for stability.
In my experience 'enterprises' (such a broad subjective term) are conservative risk averse places and are all about choosing reliability, scalability, predictability and long term maintainability over agility, cost and outright performance (if its scalable you can always throw more hardware at a problem).
But that's getting pointlessly offtopic now...
Anyway, I suspect the ability or inability to replicate this issue on Apache (or other platform) will at least partially help in isolating the actual problem.
