tomcat 4.1.18 won't work with IBM Java SDK 1.1.8

[Steinar Bang <sb...@dod.no>]

Platform: dual Intel PIII,
	  RedHat 8.0,
	  IBM Java SDK 1.1.8 (from RPM),
	  tomcat 4.1.18 (from Henri Gomez' 4.1.18-1jpp RPM)

Tomcat 4.1.18 won't work with IBM Java 1.1.8 on this platform.  I get
tomcat working with both Blackdown Sun JDK 1.3.1 and 1.4.1 on the same
platform.

Is tomcat 4.1.18 supposed to work with IBM Java 1.1.8?

Should I expect the linux port of IBM Java 1.1.8 to work on RedHat 8? 
(glibc incompatibilities? gcc incompatibilities?)

Here are some facts:

When I let JAVA_HOME in /etc/tomcat4/conf/tomcat.conf point to
Blackdown Sun JDK 1.3.1 and 1.4.1, tomcat 4.1.18 starts and runs
normally: 
 - I can access demo applications on http://127.0.0.1:8080/
 - /etc/init.d/tomcat4 stop and restart works
 - netstat -a shows a listener on port 8005 (it's also possible to
   telnet to that port)
 - stuff is written to files in /var/log/tomcat4/

Ie. from a brief test, tomcat seems to be working.

When I edit JAVA_HOME to point to /usr/jdk118, I see the following
 - Nothing responds on http://127.0.0.1:8080/
 - /etc/init.d/tomcat4 stop and restart hangs forever when attempting
   to stop tomcat
 - netstat -a doesn't show anything listening to port 8005, and it's
   not possible to telnet into that port
 - nothing is written to files in /var/log/tomcat4/, but the
   /var/log/tomcat4/catalina.out file is touched (timestamp is updated)
 - ps axu | grep tomcat lists a process
	/usr/jdk118/bin/linux/native_threads/java -Djava.endorsed.dirs= -classpath /usr/jdk118/lib/tools.jar:/var/tomcat4/bin/bootstrap.jar -Dcatalina.base=/var/tomcat4 -Dcatalina.home=/var/tomcat4 -Djava.io.tmpdir=/var/tomcat4/temp org/apache/catalina/startup/Bootstrap start

Thanx!
