Not sure if anyone might find this useful, but I compiled my own Tomcat 3.3
RPMs for RedHat 7.2 that depend on the IBMJava2-SDK RPM from IBM.  I
recognize that there are "official" Tomcat RPMS that can be downloaded from
the Jakarta web site, and I've used the 3.2 ones for a long time in several
production environments.  I admire Henri Gomez's ability to produce great
RPMS; the reason I made my own were:

1.  I wanted the directory structure to mirror the "binary" distribution a
little more closely.  It makes understanding the documentation a little
easier.  I'm (slowly) getting used to the filesystem standard (FHS), but I'm
not sold on it for 100% of things that are out there.

2.  The RPM is built from the binary distribution.  I didn't care about how
to build tomcat 3.3 per se; I just wanted a script (via RPM) that documented
what files needed configuration, etc.  Basically, given the binary
distribution, what do you have to do to get it installed?

3.  My RPM doesn't mangle /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf in any way.  Instead
I provide "mod_jk.conf" that can be included within httpd.conf when the user
wants to.  I also tried to document some things in my sample mod_jk.conf
file.  The example also illustrates how to serve static content from apache
and dynamic content from tomcat (using the /examples context).

4.  I needed a more flexible startup script (rc file) that could be
customized to support more JVMs (Tomcat workers).

I've only tested with RedHat 7.1 and 7.2 with the IBM SDK.  If they're of any
use to anyone--great!  If not, please continue to use the RPMs available on
the jakarta site--they're great too.
