Thanks a bunch Craig, and everyone else who helped out getting all the
remaining bugs squashed.
I have tested the stand-alone config with a lot of JSP examples (heavy on
custom actions and beans) on Windows NT 4.0 with JDK 1.3, and everything
works great! One thing though: the README file says in "Known Bugs"
6.8 Container Managed Security Constraints
Due to the way that Tomcat 3.2 is implemented, container managed security
constraints are imposed both on the original request URI *and* on subrequests
initiated to handle RequestDispatcher.forward() or RequestDispatcher.include()
calls.
This does *not* seem to be the case. I have an example that uses the RD to
forward() to JSP pages that are protected from direct access using BASIC
authentication. It works exactly as it should: forward() invokes them but
a direct access prompts for username/password. You may want to look at
this again, and either clarify (if it's a special case that doesn't work)
or remove this item from the list.
I'll try to get a chance to run through some examples on Windows 98 and
Linux as well tomorrow, just to make sure the startup scripts are okay and
that there are no obvious platform dependent problems.
Thanks again,
Hans
