getting started
Dear Friends,
I am trying to get started with tomcat 5.5.7 which is the most stable
release. I have spent a lot time on reading the documents. Here I am
trying to get some pointer. First let me introduce myself, I have a lot
of experience
using the RedHat linux. Right now my system is RedHat 9.0. I updated a
lot of things on this machine
such as Apache, Ant 1.6, JDK SE 1.5, gcc 3.3, gtk .... So my
environment is bit recent. My kernel is
2.4.20-8.
First question which is better, the source or the binary? I could build
the tomcat easily by doing the simple
download of the build.xml into a directory. At the shell
#ant
will build the whole tomcat system. What do I do to go to the next
step: install the binaries into the proper
places in the system, such as /usr/local/tomcat? I came from the
classical make tradition, where you simple
#make
#make install
Is there such a thing with ant? Does anyone have any idea for the
location of documents or the sort concerning what to do after building
tomcat? I don't seem to see anything in the source directory?
On the binary download branch, I could follow the instruction from
tomcat web page.
Any comments or help is appreciated.
Kemin
