Here you have 2 versions of Tomcat 3.2.2b3 Test Environments
one one stripped version: www.techfo.nl/jcom/tomcatstripped.zip
and full src version: www.techfo.nl/jcom/tomcatfullsrc.zip
(for the full src you need JAXP/Parser also in the workspace)

Tomcat Test Environment won't install on top of VA 3.5.3.  It says that the
correct version
of VisualAge is not installed, and exits the installer application.  Any
ideas on how to
trick the Tomcat Test Environment installer?  It says it expects VisualAge
3.5, but
apparently doesn't recognize 3.5.3 :<

P.S.
Thanks for the very detailed message on how to get things going with VA and
Tomcat.

Hi Darren,

we're using VAJ 3.5.2 Enterprise with Tomcat and Struts. First we tried to
run Struts 1.0b1 with Tomcat Test Env 3.1 but unfortunately Struts does not
work with Tomcat 3.1's XML-Parser. If you want you can make a XML
(javax.xml.*) & SQL (javax.sql.*) package and put it into Tomcats ./lib
directory and add it to VAJ's classpath. But if you use Tomcat 3.2.1,
struts works out of the box - but not that comfortable as the Tomcat Test
Env does, e.g. you can't debug JSP and Servlet Code anymore :(((
I did a hack (in Tomcats WebReaderXML.java to enable "jspPageCompiler"
again) and added "com.ibm.ivj.tomcat.IJVJavaCompiler" again to re-enable
in-workspace JSP and Servlet Debugging.

Running Tomcat 3.2.1 in VAJ 3.5.x
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In short:
0.) Prerequisites:
      * latest jakarta-servlet-api _source_
      * tomcat 3.2.1 binary distribution (includes ./src already)
      * Tomcat 3.1 Test Environment from www.ibm.com/vadd (to get
"com.ibm.ivj.tomcat.IVJJavaCompiler.java")
      * struts 1.0b1 source distribution
1.) Install Tomcat 3.1 Test Environment & look into
/path/to/vaj35/ide/features/com.ibm.ivj.tomcat/... to find
IVJJavaCompiler.java
2.) Start VAJ, do _not_ "Add feature Apache Test Env 3.1"!!!
3.) Create new Package, e.g. Apache_Tomcat_321
4.) Import all source from jakarta-servlet-api (do _not_ use servlet-api
from VAJ or other precompiled javax.servlet.* - classes; they _must_ be
compiled within VAJ Workspace to enable debugging of your own servlets and
JSPs) into your Project
5.) import following --> compiled classes (not source!) <- from jasper.jar
and webserver.jar  (both in tomcat-3.2.1/lib/)
jasper: all .class
webserver: org.apache.tomcat.logging.Logger,
org.apache.tomcat.logging.LogHelper, org.apache.tomcat.util.SimplePool
If VAJ still complains about missing classes (you see this in "All
Problems" - Tab) import compiled .class files from ./lib/*.jar until VAJ is
happy.
6.) create two classes: StartTomcat & StopTomcat (code is the same for
both!)

public class StartTomcat {
/**
 * StartTomcat constructor comment.
 */
public StartTomcat() {
     super();
}
/**
 * Starts the application.
 * @param args an array of command-line arguments
 */
public static void main(java.lang.String[] args) {
     // Insert code to start the application here.
     try {
          Class aClass = Class.forName("org.apache.tomcat.startup.Tomcat");
          java.lang.reflect.Method method = null;
          Class[] argsClass = new Class[] { String[].class };
          method = aClass.getMethod("main", argsClass);
          Object object = null;
          Object[] arguments = new Object[] { args };
          method.invoke(object, arguments);
     } catch (Exception e) {
          System.out.println("Exception occured: " + e.getMessage());
          e.printStackTrace();

     }
}
}

Right click StartTomcat in VAJ and goto "Properties-Classpath": have
follwing files and dirs in classpath:

.;
..\Apache_Struts;
..\IBM IDE Utility class libraries;
..\JSP Page Compile Generated Code;
.\;
.\conf\;
.\src\;
.\lib\jaxp.jar;
.\lib\parser.jar;
.\lib\webserver.jar;
.\lib\jasper.jar;
.\webapps\;
.\webapps\admin\;
.\webapps\admin\WEB-INF\classes\;
.\webapps\examples\;
.\webapps\examples\WEB-INF\classes\;
..\IBM IDE Utility local implementation\;

And in Properties-Programm have no arguments for StartTomcat and "-stop"
for StopTomcat. Also have "tomcat.home=." in "(java)Properties window"

7.) make new package and import all struts sources (org.apache.struts.*)
into new package. Struts complains about missing javax.sql (get Binary
distribution of jdbc-optional package from sun.com and import missing
compiled .class files) and missing xml stuff (import missing compiled
.class files from jaxp.jar and parser.jar (tomcat-3.2.1/lib/)
8.) Create Package "JSP Page Compile Generated Code"
9.) in tomcat-3.2.1/src/org.apache.tomcat.context.WebReaderXML.java goto
line 51 or 52 and uncomment "file://sw.addInitParam("jspCompilerPlugin",
"org.apache.jasper.compiler.JikesJavaCompiler")"
do not forget to replace "org.apache.jasper.compiler.JikesJavaCompiler"
with "com.ibm.ivj.tomcat.IVJCompiler"
10.) recompile WebReaderXml.java and _update_
tomcat-3.2.1/lib/webserver.jar !!!!! Please make sure that update worked!
--
11.) import Stuts-Example (.java from struts-dir) into new VAJ Project and
add it to VAJ Classpath (StartTomcat - Properties - Classpath
(./webapps/struts-example/;./webapps/struts-example/WEB-INF/classes)
12.) copy struts-example.war into VAJ/ide/Project-Resources/Tomcat/webapps;
copy "webapp_2_X.dtd and strus-config.dtd" from struts into
"./webapps/struts-example/WEB-INF/classes/org/apache/struts/resources"
13.) start tomcat and test strus-example

Good luck!

Jürgen

Struts Users,

A little off topic, but I saw some discussion in prior messages
about Apache Test Environment & Visual Age.

Is anybody using VA 3.5.3 with Apache Tomcat?  Is there
a download available somewhere for the Apache Test
Env. that is compatible with VA 3.5.3?
