error compiling jsvc to run tomcat as a service on Linux

[Dimitrios Christodoulakis <di...@gmail.com>]

As I continue the effort to make Tomcat the default web server daemon
over Apache 2, I am trying to use jsvc. I unpacked it successfully and
followed the instructions at
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/setup.html

steps:
tar xvfz jsvc.tar.gz
    cd jsvc-src
    autoconf


But the final configure step aborted due to a javac error:
Godaddy provides Sun's jdk1.5.0_17. Other posts encountered the same
issue due to a jdk by another vendor and solved their issue by
switching to sun's jdk which I already have.

Could this be some kind of version incompatibility between tomcat 5.5
and jdk1.5.0_17? Any thoughts or advice, are much appreciated

Seems unlikely...

So, just to be sure that message is truly bs -- did you try to compile
some trivial helloworld.java file using that javac?
