Which version Tomcat 4.1 to download/install?
Hi. I'm confused about which version of Tomcat I should download. My environment
is a Windows 2000 Pro machine running IIS5 as the web server. I've got an August
'02 install of the Java 2 SDK - namely, j2sdk1.4.0_01 and j2sdkee1.3.1.
The document RUNNING.txt (located at
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/RUNNING.txt) doesn't give any
direction as to which Tomcat binary one should download and install. So I went
ahead and downloaded tomcat-4.1.24.zip. Then I came across a post on Tomcat-User
stating that if you've got the JDK 1.4 on your machine, you should install the
LE version of the binary. Is this true? Is JDK the same thing as SDK? (Is J2EE
required?)
And further, should I download the EXE or the ZIP? Is there printed matter
stating the difference between the two?

The exe also allows you to install tomcat as a service under winnt and
allows you to set the user and password for the admin webapp, plus puts
an entry into the windows Add/Remove Program.

Thanks for pointing that out, Sasha.
Is there a document that further fleshes out the differences (pros/cons) between
the JDK 1.2+ and JDK 1.4 Tomcat binaries?

Apache Tomcat 4.1.24
This release of Tomcat 4.1 is available in two different packaging options:
Standard: This is a full binary distrbution of Tomcat 4, which
includes all optional libraries and an XML parser (Xerces 2.0.1), and
can be run on JDK 1.2+.
JDK 1.4 LE: This is a lightweight binary distribution of Tomcat 4,
designed to be run on JDK 1.4. It does not include any of the optional
binaries or the necessary XML parser (which is included in JDK 1.4). This
build can be run on JDK 1.2+ by adding an XML parser. All the
components of this distribution are open source software. This package
does not contain JavaMail, Java Activation Framework, Xerces, JNDI or the
JDBC Standard Extension.
The .exe is the self-extracting version of the .zip (AFAIK).
