Hi,
First off, thank you for the information and letting us know how you got
it installed.
I would like to have tomcat5 work correctly out of the box with SL5. I
am not a tomcat user, so to me, it appeared to work.
What would it take for us to have tomcat5 work out of the box so that
users don't have to use the jpackage repository?
(Not that I'm against jpackage, but what's the use of having something
in the distribution if it doesn't work.)
I know Steve said to have java packaged the jpackage way instead of just
the one big jdk rpm. I can do that, have done that, have it ready.
That was something I was debating on before we released, which way to
release it, and in the end, I picked the one big rpm because that was
the way we had always done it. If there is a real reason we need to
switch, I'll see what I can do.
Do I need to recompile tomcat5 with the sun java? What about jakarta?
Since there is an errata for tomcat5 right now, this isn't much of a
problem, we have to recompile it anyway. Now would be the time.
