The examples, just as in Tomcat 4, are small, portable JSP / Servlet examples to illustrate how to use these technologies.
Because Tomcat forms the basis of the RI for Servlet/JSP, and because it is so easy to use, many developers download it to try their hand at Servlet/JSP development. I thought it was great how Tomcat 4 provided a set of pre-deployed examples, ready to go as soon as the server starts up. We should continue this for Tomcat 5 (right now the examples links are broken). The only question is which workspace to keep them in. > > Vote: > > > > [ ] A. jakarta-tomcat-catalina > > [ ] B. jakarta-tomcat-jasper > > [ ] C. jakarta-tomcat-5 - Mark On Tue, 2002-08-20 at 09:40, Bob Herrmann wrote: > > Humm.
