Probable FAQ entry: Is Tomcat4+mod_webapp+Apache-1.3.xx ready for prime time?
My sysadmin and I are in the process of building a new web/app server to
replace our existing installation. It seems an opportune time to make
the move upward in API and app server (i.e., to move from Tomcat3.2 to
Catalina, hence moving to the recently released servlet and JSP specs).
However, my sysadmin had some difficulty building mod_webapp, and did
not find a lot of documentation of the build process out there. She has
consequently asked me if I'm *sure* I want to use Catalina+mod_webapp
with our Apache, "Since," as she says, "it's so new."
So, is it ready? I'm pretty confident from what I've read that Catalina
itself is stable, tested, and ready. I'm a little unsure about
mod_webapp and the Warp connector. Pier, Henri, others: how "ready" are
they? Pier especially: is mod_webapp final, stable, or still beta?
(I *don't* mean these questions to sound critical of *anyone's* work
here. I just need a little more data before I go back to my sysadmin
with a recommendation.)

Hello Rob:
I'm using Apache 1.3.20 and the static pages work fine. I've disabled the
cache just to make sure that the pages are being served correctly. However,
I'm having a similar problem like yours with a different configuration. I
will post a mail to the list with the problem description soon.
Best regards:

Hello, Rodrigo,
Does that mean that also the static pages (like for instance
/examples/servlets/index.html) are served correctly by Apache? If so,
are you sure that you don't see pages that are cached. So far, I only
get the examples themselves working correctly, but not the static pages.
(Tested with Apache 1.3.11 both on Linux and SGI Irix).

Thanks. Regretfully, my platform is HP-UX, so a manual "build" of
mod_webapp was required.
However, the information that it is working well for you is a good data
point.

Hello William,
If your platform is Linux you can find a binary of mod_webapp in this URL:
http://www.apache.org/dist/jakarta/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/release/v4.0/bin/
I'm using it and it seems OK.
