I don't see what your problem is. I have installed Tomcat on our development servers and developer's workstations. I have installed it at client sites. I have attached it to Apache. I have attached it to Apache running SSL. I have attached it to IIS. I have attached it to IIS with SSL. It works great. It's not rocket science, but it works. It's more like the Energizer Bunny; it just keeps on going and going. Did you ever stop to think the problem is not the software, but the person installing it?
PS: The documentation was adequate for doing all these flavors of installs (and I am NOT a web administrator).

Notice that I didn't ask a question JOEL BERGMAN (are you a Jakarta developer). I simply chimed in when someone else expressed dissatisfaction with this list. I have been disappointed and frustrated by the **** that is called documentation. I stopped trying to get tomcat to work properly over a year ago. Recently I looked into it again, and noticed little to no improvement. Note that my background is technical, with over twenty years of building commercial quality software. I don't believe in a lot of pie-in-the-sky ideals in terms of software development. I rate software on three important criteria: does it do what it is intended, can it be used easily, and is it maintainable. In terms of tomcat, I give it a grade of incomplete on all three of the above. I can not tell if it does what its supposed to because I can't get it to work with a reasonable amount of effort. Here if my contribution to Jarkata and people looking for a low cost Java solution. Use JRUN (discalimer: I am not affiliated with Macromedia in any way). It is under $1000 and includes a full J2EE implementation (JSP, servlets, EJB). It looks like the installer does all the stuff that mod_jk, mod_jk2, and mod_web are supposed to (if anyone could get them to work). A development version is available for free.
