connector status in tomcat 4

[Erik Hellman <Er...@bth.se>]

This summer I will be involved in a quite large project at our University
aiming to create a web-based system for administrating and presenting
course-information (and some other nifty features..). We will be using
tomcat 4 for this and apache as the webserver. The final product will be
released during the next semester (september-october).

My question is what the status is on the apache connector in tomcat 4. I've
been testing Jakarta 4 in standalone mode and is very pleased with it, but
we can't run it like that once we release the system for all our students..
;)

Is the state of the connector good enough to start using or does it still
need alot of development? In that case I would be interrested in joining the
development on that part of tomcat. Who should I contact in this case?

Another thing I was wondering; is if there is any date planned for the
release of tomcat 4.0? I searched the archive, but didn't find anything
mentioning that. You've probably seen this question hundreds of times, or
I've missed something when searching.. :)

which connector are you talking about?  the new warp/webapp stuff, or
the ajp connector(s)?  i don't know much about warp/webapp, but i do
know the ajp13 connector for tomcat 4 is a work in progress.  it's kind
of in a holding pattern right now, waiting for some other things to
happen.  hopefully, at least by the end of the summer, the ajp13 (maybe
even ajp14) connector for tomcat 4 will be in pretty good shape.

Pleased to hear that we have some volunteers :) :) (That's great indeed).

The first thing to do, is check it out of the CVS and see if it compiles on
your system, there is a readme file that details what you need... Please do
it, and tell me how far you got (it's a good startpoint, indeed :)
