Does Tomcat 4 support Dependencies On Extensions in SRV 9.7.1?

["Hugh J. L." <hu...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

Is Tomcat 4 able to recognize declared dependencies
expressed in the manifest entry of library JARs in a
WAR? According to SRV 9.7.1, if a web container is not
able to satisfy the dependencies declared in this
manner, is should reject the application.

If Tomcat 4 supports this function, could anyone post
an example MANIFEST.MF with this kind of declaration?

Many thanks.

Hugh

The current functionality checks this on JAR files in WEB-INF/lib but not
in the manifest of the WAR itself :-(.

It's in the "Extension Mechanism" documentation in the JDK doc bundle -- I
don't have a pointer off the top of my head, though.
