Tomcat officially requires the full JDK, because it needs javac in order to compile JSPs. If you pre-compile all your JSPs, you can get away with running tomcat on a JRE only, but you do so at your own risk.
From http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/RELEASE-NOTES.txt "In addition, Tomcat 5.5 uses the Eclipse JDT Java compiler for compiling JSP pages. This means you no longer need to have the complete Java Development Kit (JDK) to run Tomcat, but a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is sufficient. The Eclipse JDT Java compiler is bundled with the binary Tomcat distributions. Tomcat can also be configured to use the compiler from the JDK to compile JSPs, or any other Java compiler supported by Apache Ant." I set the JRE_HOME and *NOT* the JAVA_HOME, since I only have the JRE installed, but when I start tomcat it complains because the JAVA_HOME is not defined. Who is wrong here? The FAQ or the RELEASE-NOTES? thanks, -- TREMALNAIK --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
