Interesting release notes that affect Tombat, from http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/release/v4.0.4-b1/RELEAS E-NOTES
-------------------------------- Tomcat 4.0 and Apache Cocoon 2.0: -------------------------------- For optimal performance with Apache Cocoon 2.0, it is recommended to use the HTTP/1.0 connector. -------------------------- Tomcat 4.0 and XML Parsers: -------------------------- As described above, Tomcat 4.0 makes an XML parser (and many other standard APIs) available to web applications. This parser is also used internally to parse web.xml files and the server.xml configuration file. If you wish, you may replace the "xerces.jar" file in "common/lib" with another XML parser, as long as it is compatible with the JAXP/1.1 APIs. -------------------- JAVAC leaking memory: -------------------- The Java compiler leaks memory each time a class is compiled. Web applications containing hundreds of JSP files may as a result trigger out of memory errors once a significant number of pages have been accessed. The memory can only be freed by stopping Tomcat and then restarting it. The JSP command line compiler (JSPC) can also be used to precompile the JSPs. --------------------------------- Tomcat 4.0 and Sun JDK 1.4 beta 3: --------------------------------- Some unpredictable classloading behavior has been reported when Tomcat is used with Sun JDK 1.4 beta 3. The problem has been fixed with Sun JDK 1.4 Realease Candidate or later. -- Nicola Ken Barozzi [EMAIL PROTECTED] - verba volant, scripta manent - (discussions get forgotten, just code remains) --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
