Hi all,
Would you please clarify the compatibility restrictions (if any) between the Apache Tomcat Native Lib and its dependencies on one hand and between Apache Tomcat server and the native lib. My questions are based on the information available here: http://tomcat.apache.org/native-doc/ 1) Is it possible (or at all advisable) to build the tc-native once and then use it on a system that is not necessarily with the same versions of dependencies or JVM as the ones it was built with? Or for productive systems it is recommend always to compile on the actual system that the lib will be running on. I’m specifically interested for Linux environment. 2) Are there strict requirements for the dependencies versions, meaning Tomcat Native Lib version X works only with APR version Y, OpenSSL version Z, etc. ? 3) Are there any strict compatibility mapping between the native lib version and the Tomcat server version? In other words could every Tomcat version work smoothly with the latest tc-native version? Thanks a lot! Regards, Polina
