RE: Tomcat 3.2 vs Tomcat 3.3

[Larry Isaacs]

The main advantages of Tomcat 3.3 over 3.2.x is its
performance, stability, and configurability.  The improvements
do lead to differences, so there is some learning involved
when upgrading.

For example, Tomcat 3.2.x puts auto-generated config files for
Apache, etc. in the same "conf" directory with all the other
relatively unchanging config files.  Tomcat 3.3 writes those
files to a separate directory, "conf/auto".  This allows the
name of the auto-generated file to be configurable without much
worry about conflicts with the name of other files.  This does
mean that if you go looking for mod_jk.conf-auto, you won't
find it.  It's "conf/auto/mod_jk.conf" in Tomcat 3.3.

I don't think you will find a change that doesn't offer a
benefit as the reason for the change.  You can look in

to see the main differences documented.  Look in the
"IMPORTANT NOTE" part of the "INSTALLING AND RUNNING TOMCAT"
section and the "NEW FEATURES AND CHANGES IN THIS RELEASE".

IMHO, I think there will be less to learn (assuming you
scan the documentation) upgrading from Tomcat 3.2.x to 3.3
than to 4.x.  However, Tomcat 3.3 implements the Servlet 2.2/
JSP 1.1 specs, where Tomcat 4.x implements Servlet 2.3/JSP 1.2.
If you need the new features of the new specs, Tomcat 4.0
is the only choice between the two.

Hope this helps,

Cheers,
Larry

I've recently upgraded from 3.2 to 4.0.1.  Wasn't very painful.  Did it
in one day.  Had to change taglib .tld files which contained the
xmlns attribute within the taglib tag to instead use the

Has anyone found any major advantages/disadvantages between tomcat 3.2 and
tomcat 3.3?I have seen a large amount of confusion from people that have
upgraded from 3.2 to 4.0, can this be expected with 3.3?

I looked at 3.3 and it looked considerably different than 3.2 to me.  I was
able to upgrade my servlet applications to 4.0 with general ease.  The
directory structures for sure are much more similar between 3.2 and 4.0 than
they are between 3.2 and 3.3.  But then only been at this for a short time.
