RE: Where can I find the WebApp connector windows binary forTomcat RC2?

[Marcel Maré <li...@webtothemax.com>]

Hi Pier,

Yes that's right, that's my problem alright. And that's bad news you're
giving me (though I really appreciate your effort), since I was counting on
using TC4 for a system that will be going from development into production
soon.

Can you recommend a how to best connect TC4 to Apache on Windows?

TIA

Marcel

I know that somehow mod_jk can work with Tomcat 4.0, but I seriously don't
know their level of compliancy to the spec, and about the quality of their
code. 

I can assure you, though, that my "giving up" before the 4.0 final release
is not something I like, but I had a choice to make, either be sure that the
WebApp module works on most UNIX operating systems, or to have a "so-so"
module for UNIX -and- Windows. My choice has been to fix the UNIX part
first, and get out with a production quality release together with TC4,
Windows will follow as soon as the release is out.

This is due to the fact that Apache 1.3 under Windows behaves completely
different from under Unix, and I'd rather tackle more platforms (which I
also know better) and get out with a good release on that, rather than just
one...

I'm sorry, I'm so very sorry, but that's how it is ATM...
