Like the httpd, I'd prefer having a full distribution of all safe (yes,
Jasper is safe) and generally useful modules. Experienced users can
tweak the configuration to their liking, and it is easy to do, but the
beginners get an easy to run environment which does what they need (and
obviously a lot more, since you'd want the distribution to fill the
needs of 95% of users).
There is one big huge difference... Modules are DSOs, if you don't enable
them in your httpd.conf, they don't get loaded, they don't get used....
Disabling all of them can be done by "sed 's/^LoadModule/#LoadModule/g'".
If you get a binary distribution... (which, btw, doesn't enable most of
them, it just _ships_ them in the same bundle...)
If you don't get a binary distribution, when I build, I have a lot of tiny
--enable and --disable flags... I can _choose_ what to build, what to
install, what goes on my machine... This doesn't happen with Tomcat and it
SUCKS ASS. :-)
It's exactly what SHOULD BE DONE in a modular approach of TC 5.
A small core with essential functionalities, and a bunch of modules,
which will live in modules dir or activated if module-xxx.xml found
in conf directory of tomcat.
Don't compare yourself to HTTPD, learn from them, that's the only thing you
can do... :-) (suggestion from someone who has been around long enough).
I learn HTTPD everyday, and yesterday I even correct
mod_webapp for Apache 2.0 !
New signature! :-)
