I'm updating my Tomcat on Linux Step By Step for Tomcat 5 (http://cymulacrum.net/tomcat/tomcat_toc.html) and I need some clarification on something:
I noticed that there are now 2 other packages available for download, in addition to the base Tomcat package : a Deployer and an Embed package. I was curious as to what those 2 packages were, so I downloaded them and unpacked them and looked at the contents.
So far, what I have determined is this: the Deployer package is really a client-side deployer package that would enable a Java developer to deploy his/her webapps to a Tomcat server (without restarting the server?). The attached manual.html with the package really doesn't describe what the package is for. As for the Embed package, I'm still trying to figure it out. I "googled" around, but found nothing about the Tomcat 5 embed package, though I did find some mention about a Tomcat 3 embed package. There's no Tomcat executable script inside the package, so I am assuming that the Embed package isn't really a stand-alone Tomcat for distribution is it ?
Could someone explain what the Deployer and Embed packages are for?
Thanks and Regards, pascal chong
