>ist it possible to perform a "quick update" to tomcat 3.3.x???
It will be good for users, since tomcat 3.3 is replacing Tomcat 3.2.x as Reference Implementation of Servlet 2.2/JSP 1.1. >i found the follwing in a mailing-list (after some hours of searching) > >... >Your email does not indicate which version of Tomcat you are using, >hence I am assuming that you are >using Tomcat 3.2.x.

Nota also that tomcat 3.3 could be done very FHS, as I do for my RPM, you could find at : http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat/release/v3.3/rpms/ Take a look at the note there : Tomcat 3.3 RPM is more FHS compliant and run as nobody by default many RPM enhancements from suggestion from Keith Irwin , Nicolas Mailhot and Jun Inamori. A big thanks to all of them the RPM is more FHS compliant : bindir is in /etc/tomcat/conf confdir is in /etc/tomcat/conf logdir in /var/log/tomcat workdir in /var/spool/tomcat webapps and libs and modules in /var/tomcat ajp12.pid in /var/spool/tomcat tomcat run as nobody and the /usr/bin/tomcat command enforce it . You could use /usr/bin/dtomcat instead to run tomcat under your own account but be carefull in that case with new files access. TOMCAT_HOME is now /etc/tomcat and TOMCAT_INSTALL is /var/tomcat. a config file is available for init.d script tuning, tomcat.conf, in /etc/tomcat/conf no external parser is required since crimson (jaxp 1.1) is now included Warning, now webapps lives in /var/tomcat instead of /etc/tomcat. So you should take care of setting docBase to /var/tomcat/webapps/yourapp since the default goes to /etc/tomcat/webapps/yourapp instead (cf etc/apps-examples.xml). ouf... a decent RPM matching FHS and running as nobody for security purpose -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
