Never seen a complaint about 4.0b6 running in stand-alone mode.

I would assert that 4.0b6 is at least as stable as 3.2.3 when running with
the HTTP connector in stand alone mode. I'm working on the webapp connector
for Apache for it, and that cannot be considered qualitable as the built in
HTTP.

But let's ask to the master of TC4.0... Craig?

Re: Tomcat 4 / Apache connecter (Was: Tomcat 4.0 stability, etc.)

I'd like to move over to Tomcat 4, but I'm waiting for two things to become
available:

 1. Apache webapp connecter
 2. Possibility to run Tomcat as an NT Service

As I understand it, Pier might be able to give an idea of when this
connector will be stable (shouldn't have anything to do with finalisation of
JSP spec..) ; as for the second point, I'm not sure whether there's much
difference in running Tomcat 3.x as a service compared with Tomcat 4.x.
Maybe someone could advise whether the "service wrappers" are "final" for
Tomcat 4, and indicate what differences there are (if any) between running
3.x and 4.0 as a service?

I currently use JavaService to run it [Tomcat 3.x] as a service.

Thanks to anyone who can supply any further info.
