I remember being handed a "server runbook" that included Apache JServ, and configuring everything was a tedious nightmare. I understand why some people post to the list saying "my configuration doesn't work" and you find they're using a TC 4.x server.xml file with TC 7.x: that's what the runbook says, so they do it. I distinctly remember personally upgrading our own "standard library" code to move from the whole getValue/setValue to getAttribute/setAttribute. My employer, for whatever reason, had also implemented their own session management strategy and wired it into their own "app framework" (I use that term *very* loosely). I re-factored it to use standard HttpSessions under the hood and then got to delete /lots/ of (IMO) completely useless code. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk6h3YoACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PDkuwCfeBlt55GCpcsGRBm10gX8rnWf 49UAnR96Q+Vdzpc4k5EpC5srpJuAJWCY =HM2M -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
