Do you have an installer process of any kind, or are all upgrades done by hand? Detecting the version of Tomcat should be easy, and then you just have to make sure the various catalina-ws.jar files are available. Since you can always pull-down the distro from the ASF, they should always be available (unless you are on a server that does not allow outgoing HTTP connections to the outside world). You could also package all of the catalina-ws.jar versions necessary in your installer... >> I have about 80 customers with about 20 different versions of >> tomcat (7.x & 8.x.....too much, i known.....) and i'm searching a >> quick update method. Something like stop > copy/replace jars and >> wars > cleanup > start. If you are willing to package one version of catalina-ws.jar, you could package other versions as well. Are you managing the Tomcat installation for your customers? If so, why not upgrade them to a common version? If not, why not just tell your customer that a prerequisite of your product is that catalina-ws.jar is installed and up-to-date? >> I hope I have been clear, sorry if not..... > >> An offtopic question: do you known why catalina-ws.jar is an >> optional lib?? Because it's not a part of the main supported APIs: Servlet, JSP, EL, and Websocket. I'm not entirely sure if catalina-ws.jar contains anything Tomcat-version-specific. You could test your own web application against that kind of thing if you wanted to be sure. I'm sorry, but I don't know the answer. You could always use another JSR109 implementation -- one that wasn't sensitive to the Tomcat version. Or use something like Apache Axis2 which, while not being JSR-109-compliant (I think), still supports web services. It's a bit old, though. There is also Apache CXF, which is under active development and probably supports all of the new-fangled things web-services types expect from a support library. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJVjBQmAAoJEBzwKT+lPKRYB1YQAMKv85SrgjnIpl9ScB0GRpW1 1oE8EjIVXSzrQFDKlex7ewyc4qTreVAELBcCUAM/uGTYllekXN94mMdmYUwvLi4b /yOovNnsbMnY7qPqrkzEgOJnSJKv77VSadWa9UIoomviZTA9k2dS5D5+GkkBATxf WqmfMesFsfBVqGAkgKAT4iq4nhQloDUmDwfIs6a8IozjPq2UG2tJDidqTpJWBaQw g8WdPByb1a6vj+S/OUKv0cXMn95fi7f3RpJVFGgnxKQ4OfsldrZH72K6w9u3BeFd 36qPUP4OwFcX4xh+4oBZABE03e6sGitPouKn0xTaprqsWOPydcz4Ly4Ap81PdKa5 lcqY/fPSOOQB+p/+/x4E1FDj3kvMxXEMXuN9tedcPbIxjWjhpzEcwrl4SSljOHQl 5AUha8Tqd14l/1lK2QOwDwLrr7cxDQXNcJEgRdUK0y47td8nDz/I2uYWHTuRbcaa XY6Db3ZK4PZUeWkR9MvYhHphVtX6sPthUD4UNsIywJq1DTpq3ZrMF3ccSnRVwSuC icphIAg0TyYgTBz6SUJ6xjT7NjajyQirMazHvJ/xmfVVkUfAYqUOveLaO/BZSJbT e9M9nAzz8gO69KYwWB21dhz8xbX+WCtkV/fMfG8PYReVS2lJH9IgXjefYSijRmqs SQU4q8OlusduFfMc9eEy =fnY7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
