Re: [cobalt-developers] Upgrading Cobalt JDK to Tomcat 4

["Geoffrey McCaleb" <geoffrey@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The only thing that worries me is that I don't understand the config of
Tomcat all that well, and the structure of server.xml in the old and new is
fairly different.

Also, in cobalt_config.pl it tries to open a file called
'server.xml.master', this file does not come with the tarball of Tomcat. Is
this a Cobalt generated file? Or is this server.xml w/o the mapping?

thanks,

Geoffrey
