Tomcat 5.0.12

["Oxley, David" <Da...@workplace-systems.plc.uk>]

I did some testing of 5.0.12 over the weekend to make sure our webapp works
with it. I haven't found any problems yet, but I do have a couple of
comments (applicable to Win32):

1. Am I right in assuming that JK2 is the default connector for TC5. If so,
the last release was November last year! I think we need another release. I
compiled from source for Windows (which didn't compile). in_addr_t was not
defined. I had to add the following code to jk_channel_socket.c:
#if defined(WIN32)
typedef u_long in_addr_t;
#endif

2. procrun is currently very unfriendly for the end-user. I remember the
days of jk_nt_service and the wrapper.properties. This was very flexible and
easy to use. I needed to add several services for Tomcat using the same
TOMCAT_HOME, but with different TOMCAT_BASE's. I did finally get it working.
This is the command I ended up using (Urgh):

C:\Tomcat\Home\bin\tomcatw.exe //IS//Tomcat5 --DisplayName "Apache Tomcat"
--Description "Apache Tomcat 5.1.12 Server -
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/"  --Install
"C:\Tomcat\Home\bin\tomcat.exe" --ImagePath
"C:\Tomcat\Home\bin\bootstrap.jar" --StartupClass
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap;main;start --ShutdownClass

omcat\Home\common\endorsed"#-Dcatalina.base="C:\Tomcat\BaseServer1"#-Dcatali
na.home="C:\Tomcat\Home"#-Djava.io.tmpdir="C:\Tomcat\BaseServer1\temp"
--Startup manual --StdOutputFile C:\Tomcat\BaseServer1\logs\jvm.stdout
--StdErrorFile C:\Tomcat\BaseServer1\logs\jvm.stderr --Arguments "-config

No, you're cofusing mod_jk2 and JK 2 on the Tomcat side. JK 2 can work 
with either mod_jk or mod_jk2.

Thanks, I usually appreciate unsubstatiated feedback, which proves you 
didn't look at the shortcuts or anything. Since you have decided you 
didn't like it and it wouldn't work for you, feel free to not use it 
(for your defense, the setup docs isn't there yet, but gvien point 1, 
I'm not sure you would have read it). The startup scripts are there as 
usual.
