How to apply the hotfix of 4.1.27?

[Vernon Smith <vw...@lycos.com>]

Is the only way to apply the patch by the following procedure:

1. unzip the jar file *
2. replace the class in the hotfix
3. zip into the jar file ago.

* which one of the three jar files is the jar file?

Any better way to get it done? And why don't get a new build with the fix?

v.

On the web page 
http://mirrors.midco.net/pub/apache.org/jakarta/tomcat-4/binaries/

it says..
Hotfixes (to install, extract in the path where Tomcat was installed):

No replacement needed.  Class loader insures the the proper class is 
loaded since the classes directory is in the classpath first.

Only step 1, but make sure it's in the Tomcat directory.

After you are done you should see something like this:
<TOMCAT_HOME>/server/classes/org/apache/catalina/core/StandardContext.class

Where <TOMCAT_HOME> is where you installed tomcat.

Huh?  4.1.27 is a separate distribution.  What do you mean by "why isn't 
there a new build"?  Just download it.
