Hello Windows XP SP2 Java 1.5.0_10 Tomcat 5.5.25
After many years using Tomcat to host various web sites I thought it was about time I started looking at some of the code. I downloaded the source for 5.5.25 and thought I'd start at the beginning and figure out what happens when I start the server from the command line.. After deciphering the batch files (catalina.bat, startup.bat and setclasspath.bat) I figured out that the class being invoked was org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap with the command line param start ... Well that's about as far as I get because I just can't figure out the entry point. I know that an instance of org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina is being instantiated and invoked eventually but the main method in Bootstrap is apparently only used for testing. At least that what he comments state ... but main must be being called mustn't it ... If main is not being called in Bootstrap how do things kick off... I'm a bit distressed that I can't figure this out. I haven't got around to building the distribution yet. I've read http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/architecture/startup/serverStartup.txt but I'm still at a loss, maybe I'm getting too old for all this or maybe I'm just tired ...
