Re: [cobalt-developers] tomcat problems



FYI,
To anyone looking to run Tomcat 4.x, it is very picky on the servlets it runs.

Specifically I have been running Macromedia's Generator 2 in its online state which is a giant semi Java servlet with 3.x for some time now. Much better than JRun, cheaper to. :)

So far Generator works fine with 3.2.x, but I have not had any luck with 3.3, or 4.x.

I am fairly confident that 3.3 will one day work, but do not have much hope for 4.x

4.x Also is very picky on the order of the servlets and entries in the web.xml file. It is very strict. I ran into a ton of syntax errors before I figured out the order issue. I am sure it has to do with how the files xml is parsed.

Other than my horror experiences with Generator and Tomcat 4.x, 4.x seems to be a stable and advanced Java Application server built on the latest standards, but not as backwards compatible as it claims to be.

No. mod_jk uses apj12 and apj13 (depends on the release you are using) to
communicate with Tomcat. If you open your httpd.conf file, it should be
using mod_jk not mod_jserv.

Thanks Brian.

Since you had 4.0.1 working, I decided to try it and got it up -no sweat.
Thanks.  I saved Cobalt's fancy scripting in case I want all the Tomcat
stuff automatically added when I add accounts on the machine, which I
probably will not need since the RaQ is for my own purposes. Mainly bloody
noses and a bruised ego. j/k

thanks again and kind regards-
