I agree. Symbolic links are one of best tools in testing new software. I symbolic link as much as I can. So I can swap between versions quickly and painlessly. > It seems that a Tomcat upgrade should be similar: install it and > then symlink it into place...

Further more on the JDK front, if Sun follows their own standards, anything in the current JDK that is additional should be in the jdk/jre/lib/ext So you may need to migrate any jars over from there. Unless they are already present in the new JDK. Otherwise JDK 1.4 should not break anything that is compatible with JDK 1.3 -- Sincerely, William L.
