I'll try to answer this, and be resoundingly corrected, or if folks are silent you can assume I've got the gist of this... Tomcat 3.2.2 beta 5 is a release-candidate. Everyone hopes it will be the next release of Tomcat 3.2.2 since it incorporates security fixes you _need_. You are encouraged to test this _now_ if you are a 3.2.1/3.2.2 user today. Tomcat 3.3 is in development, and should near release over the next few months. It incorporates new APIs and may include new connectors sometime in the near future (or does right now, I'm not certain.) But treat it as a work-in-progress until the beta nears, and if you like life on the edge, try using it instead. It will be changing a bit between now and it's release. Tomcat 4.0 is in development, and should near release sometime [?]. But it's a rather new beast, supporting the next [not yet published] java servlets api which is subject to change. It will bring Apache's 'filters' to Tomcat and offer a host of new things, including [probably] a brand new apache connector module [which of two, or both, isn't determined yet.] If you like life on the bleeding edge, try tomcat 4.0 with apache 2.0, but be prepared to stay current with the repositories on both, and don't put your money on building successfully at any given point in time :-) It is likely to change alot between now and it's release. If I blew it, please correct me.

Nothing is going on... Tomcat 3.x is the reference implementation of the old Servlet 2.2/JSP 1.1 APIs, while Tomcat 4.x is the reference implementation of the upcoming new Servlet 2.3/JSP 1.2 APIs. Depending on which API version you want, you might want to try either the 3.2 tree or the 4.0 tree... Pier

Maybe something like this should be placed in an impossible to miss place for whomever tries to download/get info on Tomcat. It is the most efficient way to stop USERs confusion.

RE: Question version 1.1
OK, that goes right to the top of the "Why didn't I think of that" list. I'll add section to the Tomcat page describing the various releases. > -Original Message- > From: Paulo Gaspar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, May 15, 2001 3:35 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: Question version 1.1 > > > > Nothing is going on...
