I am sponsoring this closed approved automatic case for Lukas Rovensky.
It Obsoletes Jakarta Tomcat 4 Interfaces In Solaris 10 and the release
binding is patch. If anyone thinks this doesn't qualify for self review,
then I'll convert it to a fasttrack.
Thanks,

1. Introduction
1.1. Project/Component Working Name:
Obsolete Jakarta Tomcat 4 Interfaces In Solaris 10.
1.2. Name of Document Author/Supplier:
Author: Lukas Rovensky
1.3. Date of This Document:
05/21/10
4. Technical Description:
Obsolete Jakarta Tomcat 4 Interfaces In Solaris 10.
4.1. Details:
The goal of this case is to clarify that all Jakarta Tomcat 4
interfaces are obsoleted in Solaris.
Tomcat was upgraded to version 6 in Nevada through series of
incremental upgrades, see:
* CR 6447186 update apache tomcat to latest stable release
(5.5.17), [3]
* CR 6750918 Upgrade Tomcat to version 6.0.x, [4]
* PSARC 2008/711 Tomcat 6, [1]
The above means that in Nevada / OpenSolaris / Solaris Next there is
currently only Tomcat 6.
In Solaris 10 and 9 Tomcat 5.5 was added to original Tomcat 4 packages
via patch, see:
* PSARC 2008/065 Tomcat 5.5, [2]
Tomcat 4 is considered as deprecated and not supported by community
for a long time, [5].
4.4. Out of Scope:
The possible further action would be to actually remove Tomcat 4 from
Solaris 10 (e.g., in update 10). Separate PSARC case will be required.
4.5. Interfaces:
The release binding is patch.
The following interfaces will be obsoleted:
____________________________________________________________________________
| Interface |Commitment |Comments |
|_______________________________|____________|_______________________________|
|/usr/apache/tomcat/bin |uncommitted | startup scripts |
|/usr/apache/tomcat/lib |uncommitted | Tomcat jar files |
|/usr/apache/tomcat/common |uncommitted | Tomcat components |
|/usr/apache/tomcat/server |uncommitted | Tomcat components |
|/var/apache/tomcat/conf |uncommitted | Tomcat configuration files |
|/var/apache/tomcat/logs |uncommitted | runtime log files |
|/var/apache/tomcat/webapps |uncommitted | Example applications |
|/var/apache/tomcat/work |uncommitted | servlet engine work directory |
|_______________________________|____________|_______________________________|
4.6. Doc Impact:
Tomcat 4 does not have man pages, so information about obsoleting
its interfaces will be included in Release Notes for S10U9. The
following text will be used:
"Jakarta Tomcat 4 might not be included in a future release. Tomcat
5.5 and 6 provide the same functionality and users are recommended
to migrate to higher a version of Tomcat".
