First off, I haven't tried the exact thing you suggested (i.e. to install a fresh Tomcat5 in ${HOME}/local/tomcat5). What I did try was to install the "native" Tomcat from tomcat.apache.org locally, I mean, in my private ~/Bin. It didn't work either, and I figured that's pretty much what you wanted to know. Please do tell me if I am assuming wrongly. Second thing, though, is that my teacher for that course told me I will indeed need the Tomcat5 container Sun offers, which is the one the WSDP installer suggested in the first place. According to him (but he's a manager in real life, so I'm not 100% sure :p), no "default" Tomcat5 installation would suffice, and it *has* to be one of the containers suggested by the Java WSDP installation routine. Cheers, Tom PS: From the mail address mentioned at Sun's WSDP site, I haven't received any reply whatsoever, which is too bad, because they are probably the only people who can be dead sure... -- "Es bückt sich der Mann, um durch das Tor in das Innere zu sehen." --- (Franz Kafka, Vor dem Gesetz) np: Haus Arafna - Last Dream of Jesus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
