Did you mean 1.0.3? commons-daemon-1.0.3 (unix binary files) was not able to launch tomcat with commons-daemon-1.0.2.jar (unable to register native methods error). It only worked with commons-daemon-1.0.2 unix binary files which is not a big surprise, but the point is that the head versions of both projects are incompatible out of the box. > > So since the common-daemons-1.0.2 is no more distributed and the jar >> distributed in tomcat-6.0.29 seems to be in version 2, do you think it >> would >> be a good idea to to update tomcat6.0.29-src.tar.gz with the >> common-daemons-1.0.3.jar?

See: > > http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=989024 Good thanks I guess it is not possible to have something like commons-daemon.1.0.3.jar in the bin folder and then ln -s to commons-daemon.jar because of Windows support? Or is the version of the jar file written somewhere in the bin archive. I tried to grep it with no success. Regards
