Hi Jacob, Redhat provide packages for Tomcat and mod_jk. For Redhat Enterprise AS 4, these are in the "Application Server" channel, if I recall correctly. (Either that, or "Extras"). They are provided by Redhat, and based on the Jpackage project. http://www.jpackage.org/ If your admins use the Redhat packages (rather than Jpackage's versions), they can log support tickets to Redhat - this is important for many organisations (as opposed to getting support from this excellent list). Also, using Redhat's packages, tomcat and mod_jk packages can be updated using "up2date", which makes it easier for the admins to apply security updates.
