Yes, it is out there. Hopefully, this will be the last beta for this
release. If no showstoppers are found, I'll call for a vote sometime
tomorrow, with the hope for publishing the final release sometime next
week.

Tomcat 3.2 still doesn't decode simple % encoding in URLs. (I originally
reported this just before 3.1 went out!)
This means it's in violation of the 2.2 specification errata which states
that getServletPath() and getPathInfo() return % decoded values.
It's fixed in 3.3 (in the last few lines of
service.http.HttpRequestAdaptor.processRequestLine()) and seems to work ok.
Can I request that one of the commiters back-port this fix before we decare
3.2 final please?
Cheers
Geoff

Okay, I believe I have solved all the mysteries now, see below.

I hope the above can be fixed in the build process. Sam?

It turns out that the "for" command in Windows 98 only can deal with
wildcard paths that include at the most one directory level. So "foo\*.jar"
works but "foo\bar\*.jar" doesn't.
An ugly way to fix this is to add "cd %TOMCAT_HOME%" before executing the
"for" command. A better way is to remove the "for" command and add explicit
"set" commands for all JAR files in %TOMCAT_HOME%\lib (like it used to be):
set CP=%CP%;%TOMCAT_HOME%\lib\jasper.jar
set CP=%CP%;%TOMCAT_HOME%\lib\jaxp.jar
set CP=%CP%;%TOMCAT_HOME%\lib\parser.jar
set CP=%CP%;%TOMCAT_HOME%\lib\servlet.jar
set CP=%CP%;%TOMCAT_HOME%\lib\webserver.jar
My vote is for the latter. Can someone please fix this before Tomcat 3.2
goes final?

You learn something every day. This turned out to be a problem with upper/lower
case file names. I had unzipped the Tomcat ZIP file with NT booted on a
dual-boot machine. When I booted up Windows 98 and tried to access the files,
they had all uppercase names as far as Windows 98 was concerned. Unzipping
the file again under Windows 98 solved the problem. *sigh*

I have tested Beta 3 with a number of sample JSP applications, with heavy
use of tag libraries, and everything works fine on NT 4.0 with JDK 1.2.2
and JDK 1.3.
Unfortunately I can't get it to work at all on Windows 98 :-(
First of all, a minor detail that I'm sure is known and will be fixed
in the real distribution package: all BAT files have Unix linend characters
so they won't run on Windows 98. That was easy to fix.
More serious is that the
for %%i in (%TOMCAT_HOME%\lib\*.jar) do call %TOMCAT_HOME%\bin\cpappend.bat
%%i
trick in tomcat.bat doesn't work when TOMCAT_HOME is set to an absolute
path for some reason. If I let the BAT file set it to "." this part works.
But even when I have the CLASSPATH right, all attempts to access
resources (HTML files, JSP files or servlets) in any context other
than the default fails with a 404. I don't know what's going on
there ...
I will continue to try to figure out what the problem is, but if someone
else knows how to get the BAT files working for Windows 98, and why
the demo contexts can not be accessed, I'd appreciate some hints.

[BUG TRACKING] -- need list of current committers
Posted by Nick Bauman <ni...@cortexity.com>.
I need to know who the current committers are for Jakarta. The list on
Jakarta I know isn't current.
All committers will be receiving their admin logins and passwords to the
BugRat shortly. The admin section is now closed to the public.
Found a cute method in BugRat that means I have a bit more work for myself
than I thought. :(
public Person
getLoginPerson( String login )
throws DBIException
{
throw new DBIException( "--UNIMPLEMENTED--" );
}
So I'll work on implementing that tonight so that we can see who is
closing what.
