I did some testing of 5.0.12 over the weekend to make sure our webapp works
with it. I haven't found any problems yet, but I do have a couple of
comments (applicable to Win32):

1. Am I right in assuming that JK2 is the default connector for TC5. If so,
the last release was November last year! I think we need another release. I
compiled from source for Windows (which didn't compile). in_addr_t was not
defined. I had to add the following code to jk_channel_socket.c:
#if defined(WIN32)
typedef u_long in_addr_t;
#endif

2. procrun is currently very unfriendly for the end-user. I remember the
days of jk_nt_service and the wrapper.properties. This was very flexible and
easy to use. I needed to add several services for Tomcat using the same
TOMCAT_HOME, but with different TOMCAT_BASE's. I did finally get it working.
This is the command I ended up using (Urgh):

C:\Tomcat\Home\bin\tomcatw.exe //IS//Tomcat5 --DisplayName "Apache Tomcat"
--Description "Apache Tomcat 5.1.12 Server -
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/";  --Install
"C:\Tomcat\Home\bin\tomcat.exe" --ImagePath
"C:\Tomcat\Home\bin\bootstrap.jar" --StartupClass
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap;main;start --ShutdownClass
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap;main;stop --Java auto --JavaOptions

omcat\Home\common\endorsed"#-Dcatalina.base="C:\Tomcat\BaseServer1"#-Dcatali
na.home="C:\Tomcat\Home"#-Djava.io.tmpdir="C:\Tomcat\BaseServer1\temp"
--Startup manual --StdOutputFile C:\Tomcat\BaseServer1\logs\jvm.stdout
--StdErrorFile C:\Tomcat\BaseServer1\logs\jvm.stderr --Arguments "-config
