Re: [BULK] - Re: what is catalina?..
I talked to the original Tomcat author, James Duncan Davidson, about the name choice. He gave me a surprising answer. Here's a bit of history... Tomcat was born in response to the need for an independant servlet specification implementation. James wrote it hoping that it would eventually be open sourced. He figured that since most open source projects had O'reilly books about them that he should name it after an animal. Essentially he was thinking of an animal that would go on the cover of an O'reilly book. He came up with Tomcat since the animal represented something that could take care of itself and fend for itself. That's how he came up with the name. I asked him about the jet fighter. James said that though the F-14 is his favorite fighter, the name is just a coincidence. Justyna [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sean Dockery wrote: I would speculate that the Tomcat name is, as in, F-14 Tomcat... At a recent Sun Developer Days I attended, one of the presenters who was pumping the Sun ONE application framework talked about the framework's history. Until the re-branding of the framework to Sun ONE blah blah blah, the framework was known as JATO--which stands for Java Assisted Take Off. That originated from the engineers who were enamored by the JATO acronym--which stands for Jet Assisted Take Off in USAF (and perhaps civilian airline) lingo. The engineers felt that using the JATO framework would propel (pun) your project far ahead of your competitors. I wouldn't be surprised if the name Tomcat was similarly conceived from F-14 Tomcat.

Re: what is catalina?..
NO! You are completely wrong! ...Catalina is actually a beautiful princess with big blue eyes...and...blonde...hair...sitting there in your box all alone, forced to listen all the cr*p played by the TCP radio, more commonly on 8080MHz, (some high skilled actually succeed to accord it on the 80MHz, but that's though!) Sysadmins, the bad guys or company internal police actually bring this Apache so she would not try to escape after all that stress. And as in those love stories, the Apache and Catalina fall in love together, and after a little time come to life those little kids also known as 'servlets'...living all together until the end of times (if they are on the Linux Planet, of course) or until your next electrical problem. Go ahead and open yer box...and you'll see that i'm not kidding you... Cheers...hope I raise yer morale...yet! :))) C. = Ask stupid questions and you'll get stupid answers: If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill himself, is it considered a hostage situation? = At 11:19 PM 1/30/2003 -0800, you wrote: rf [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... --- Bill Barker [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Catalina is also the name of a small island off the coast of southern California.
