Tomcat versions and Struts

[Martin Cooper <ma...@apache.org>]

For recent builds of Struts, we have "officially" tested against Tomcat 
4.1.x and 5.0.x. Ostensibly, however, the build system supports Tomcat 
3.2.x, 3.3.x, 4.0.x, 4.1.x and 5.0.x.

Since the trunk in SVN will become Struts 1.3, and we have (I believe) 
decided that 1.3 will up the Servlet dependency to 2.3, we should be able 
to jettison support for Tomcat 3.2.x and 3.3.x.

Remaining questions:

* Tomcat 4.0.x is no longer available from the Jakarta download page. Do
   we still need to test and support this version? What does it mean to
   stop supporting this version?

* Tomcat 5.5.x is the latest Tomcat version. I had thought that this was
   the JDK 5.0 version of Tomcat, but the Tomcat web site doesn't seem to
   say anything about this. Should we be testing against Tomcat 5.5.x?

So, the question is: Which versions of Tomcat do we need to support? I'd 
like to get our build system in tune with reality. ;-)

My own suggestion: Support only 4.1.x, 5.0.x, 5.5.x.

+1 on jettisoning any pretense of testing these on the 1.3.x track.

IMHO, 4.0.x is no longer relevant; 4.1.x is the only Servlet 2.3 based
container we should worry about.  We can remove any indications that
we test on 4.0.x.

Tomcat 5.5.x was numbered that way, IFRC, to conform to the basic
notion that the major version on Tomcat was only incremented when the
servlet spec level was incremented.  That being said, 5.5 has fairly
significant internal differences from 5.0, so one cannot assume that
successful testing on one means implied success on the other.  I think
we need to test on both.

Agreed, but I would put the priority order differently:  5.0.x, 5.5.x,
then 4.1.x.

It really need JDK 5.0, by the way only the JRE cause the Eclipse compilator
is now inside for the last 5.5.x Tomcat version.

btw +1 for 4.1.x, 5.0.x and 5.5.x only

Tomcat 4.1.x, 5.0.x, 5.5.x sound good to me.
