Hi, There seems to be a problem with the zip file for Tomcat 3.2.1 available at the jakarta.apache.org. It doesn't contain the file xml.jar because of which an exception is thrown and the server doesn't start. I tried putting the 3.1 xml.jar file in the lib directory but still some exception was being thrown. Can somebody please help in this regard. Also, the website says that thread pooling can be used with ver3.1 and 3.2. However, the tomcat.properties file for both these versions disables thread pooling by default and recommends against deploying the same for production use. Please clarify whether thread pooling should be used or not.
