Have you read the build.sh and build.bat scripts?  The required environment
variables are pretty thoroughly documented.  The "README.txt" in the top level
source directory is also helpful.

Also, you can skip having to build it entirely if you download one of the
nightly binary distributions -- it sets up in a manner very similar to Tomcat
3.2.1 standalone.

The code freeze date for Tomcat 4.0 beta 2 is currently set for February 5.
This will give us the chance to add in some changes that would require
incompatible internal API changes if we did them later (which is really NOT nice
to server providers who integrate Tomcat inside their packages), implement
support for running webapps under a security manager, improve the quality of the
mod_webapp Apache connector, and lay the groundwork for adding some fancy
features in the future.

The decisions on what and when get made on the TOMCAT-DEV mailing list, and
anyone who is interested is welcome to listen in (or contribute, if you wish).
People who subscribe to TOMCAT-DEV also receive a copy of every code commit to
the CVS repository, so you can see exactly what kinds of changes are being
made.  This can be a quick way to become familiar with Tomcat internals if
you've ever been curious about what happens inside a servlet container.

since catalina's not ready, can this be done w/ tomcat 2.2 servlets ...

2001-01-22 Thread Grobe, Gary

The 2.3 servlet specs allow filters but since I'm running into several
undocumented install issues with Catalina, I'd like to know if it's possible
to insert code into html pages with the current servlet features of tomcat's
2.2 specs. Anyone know how this might be done?

I'm running apache 1.3.14 & tomcat 3.2.1. I havn't been able to get tomcat
4.0 built because of undoc'd env vars.

Anyone have good rumors about Catalina's release?
