i havent been following this for some time now, but if
i remember correctly, 3.x supported jdk1.1 and 4.x
didnt. this is a major concern to me. the company i
work for would like to deploy tomcat on the as400. im
not an as400 guru, so i dont know if they have a jdk
yet that supports 1.2, all i know is that what we
currently have supported on the as400 is jdk1.1, so
everytime i hear anything about "moving on" to 4.x it
makes me cringe. we need jdk1.1 support still. please
dont give up support of tomcat 3.x. just my
2cents....
