Thanks for your help. I am convinced, however I am not the one that needs convincing. Do you have any idea if other companies trust the binary builds? (Is this 'paranoia' unique to my company?)
It's not unique to your company, but in the minority AFAIK: in my experience, almost every company I know that uses Tomcat uses the binary builds. People tend to use the source builds only for customizations, redistributions, etc.
So I have all my ducks in a row, I have been looking into the src and binary distros a bit further, I noticed the tomcat-native library is included as source in the binary distro as a tar.gz file. Is this a necessary component of Tomcat? What is it for? The only platform specific files I found in the binary distro were the scripts and the Windows startup executable.
The native connector is not a necessary component, it's optional. RTFM it at http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/apr.html. Yoav --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
