I often get asked how I install Railo and why I chose one over the other. It boils down to a simple question.

When you’re setting up a server, do you want Railo enabled for all websites or the ability to pick and choose?

• If you answered is «All websites» then, Common Class Loader.
  
• If you answered «Pick and choose» then war file.
  
  

In future blog posts, I’m going to outline both installations. I’ll be updating this post with links to both.
