PWS + Tomcat + JNI

[Bill Nalen/Towers Perrin <NA...@towers.com>]

I have downloaded Tomcat 3.2.6 and installed it per the howto directions.
It works fine - meaning if I have personal web server running and then run
startup from the tomcat/bin directory to start the tomcat server, I can get
servlets and jsp pages to work from my browser.

What I'd like to do now, it have it all work without having to manually
start the tomcat server.  I am running win95 so I can't use the nt server
program.  I thought I could use the jni dll to make the web server load
tomcat on demand, but I've been unsuccessful doing that.  I did follow the
inprocess howto document, but it seems out of date for 3.2.6 and it did not
work.  I also saw in the documentation that I should be able to change the
paths in the worker.properties file and the jni inprocess server is
supposed to work, but it doesn't.    If I put another connection in the
server.xml file for the jni dll, I get web server errors saying the browser
got back unrecognized data from the server.

My question is, can I server up servlet and jsp pages from personal web
server and win95 without manually loading Tomcat.  If so, please tell me
what modifications I need to make to the files or point me to the
documentation where it is explained.

Thanks
Bill

if you do not rely on launching "on demand", try launching Tomcat by putting
the appropriate link into the Autostart folder!
