Editting server.xml with text editor

[Harry Mantheakis <ha...@mantheakis.freeserve.co.uk>]

I am using Tomcat 4 b5 on a Mac OS X.

I can edit web.xml with my text editor, but not server.xml.

If I open server.xml in my text editor I get the following:

"         usersa password driverClassName org.hsql.jdbcDriver driverName
jdbc:HypersonicSQL:database  mail.smtp.host localhost    "

If I use pico in tcsh then I can see everything and I can edit the file
normally.

I have downloaded T4 twice (b3 and b5) but the problem remains.

Does anyone know why I cannot use my text editor to edit server.xml?

TIA and regards

Thanks for that. I tried CodeWarrior and it worked :-)

Hi,

Don't know about OS X, but all the earlier Mac OSs use \r (0x0D) as the 
line terminator ... and do not see the Unix \n (0x0A).  Probably the file 
that appears correctly has \r\n pairs -- likely 'cause it came from a 
DOS/Windows box.

If you use BBEdit, I believe you can tell it that the file is from a Unix 
machine, and it will then understand the line terminators.

hth,

Beau.
