Thanks Peter. Now that I know how to make WAR files, is there a tutorial on writing the bits and pieces of web.xml?
Also... I see this is a popular question, (I was also going to ask) where is mod_jk in binary for Win32? Do you have one in a package with docs that you can send me? :-) Sorry! I can't see how to get it. James ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter T.
