Hi!

I have a question about something, I observe, but don't
want to believe... ;-)

Tomcat 5 can use my keystore, but only if the password is
"changeit", the default password. Now, the docs say, one
should use this, but with TC 4.0.6 it was possible to
change it. Is the password hard coded in TC 5?


I didn't test that particular feature myself, but I believe this works
ok.
The way connectors parameters (and in particular SSL parameters) are
defined changed in TC 5.0.x. Look there:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/config/coyote.html
There's the SSL howto also.


Also, you might want to make sure that the password of your *target key*
matches your keystore password. I'm not sure how that plays out in
tomcat world, but I can see that to be a problem if the server assumes
the key's password to be the same as that of the keystore.

<Just an idea>
server.xml is an XML file. It used to be XML in TC4, and it
ist still XML in TC5. Shouldn't it be possible, then, to write an XSL-T
stylesheet converting old config files into newer formats?
That would considerably ease migration/upgrade pains...
</Just an idea>


Yes, it could. You're more than Welcome to submit a patch :-)


<Just an idea>
If we had an XML schema definition (be it W3C XML schema,
Relax NG or whatever), an XML editor like Pollo or XML Spy
could validate the config file. This would help to avoid and
reveal mistakes and thus speed up Tomcat configuration...

Just search that list on the topic ;-) It is not possible at the moment to have a DTD or schema for the server.xml (due to its complexity). If you have time and think you can come with something, a second patch is welcome!
