Hi. I do not know either if the above is supposed to work also under Linux as a platform. It is not very clear in the Tomcat docs, and I have asked a couple of times on the list without getting much of an answer. (Probably because few people know). Now just in case it doesn't work, the following works fine under Linux as well as under Windows : Jespa , at www.ioplex.com You can download it and test it for 60 days free, and the final license costs are very moderate. (I have no commercial interest in that, I just use it happily). For Jespa, the answers to your questions are : 1) yes, it will work 2) apart from the setup of Jespa itself, no additional setup or change in the app is required. The setup of Jespa does require the intervention of a sysadmin at the site though, because it requires creating a Windows machine account for Jespa.

I suggest opening an enhancement request for the docs to be updated to include a known working Linux config. I should be able to take a look at doing that once I get back from ApacheCon next week.

It will be helpful for those who don't have time to try-and-fail.
