Installing another jdk while tomcat is running
I have jdk 1.4 and 1.5 installed and tomcat 5.0 running. I downloaded jdk 1.6
and I want to install this jdk while the tomcat is running (for some reasons
I couldn't shut down the tomcat). Is this OK if I do this ? Does jdk
installation not interfere with the running tomcat ??
Thanks...

Should not be a problem, just dont replace the old JRE, put the new one in
another folder.
Then... next time you start up tomcat you tell it to use the new JDK... or
not.
Its actually a good way to work... have a JRE or JDK in a non standard
folder, that is dedicated to your server... esp if you also developing on
the machine.
You can have as many JDK/JREs as you want, and if you developing, you should
keep all the old ones anyway... so you can test software against diff
engines.
The only problem is if you in stall multiple versions of the "same" JRE
version... on windows anyway same version JRE's interfere with each other,
but diff versions are ok.
By the way... if you already using the TC in production... get another one
of those as well... dont develop against your production TC.
