Jacob,
ps. I also noticed that the 'LE' version does not come with commons-dbcp and commons-pool libraries. I thought the 'LE' version was only trimmed-down for JDK 1.4 users because it did not include an XML parser -- which is included with the JDK, now. What gives?

Tomcat5 no longer provides a separate "LE" version. You can take that as a hint not to use the "LE" version in Tomcat4.1.x. It causes nothing but confusion.

I disagree. The 'LE' version actually has less confusion because there aren't fighting XML parsers involved.


I don't know why Tomcat 5.x doesn't have an 'LE' version. I couldn't find any official word that LE versions "caused confusion and have been elimintated" :)

Search the archives. There has been plenty of discussion on this. The docs mention that the LE version leaves out what the JDK already has. However, other stuff such as dbcp and other jars are removed as well. This is not documented well (if at all) and has been, in my experience on the list, the cause of endless confusion. If all you are concerned about is the XML stuff, just delete everything in the common/endorsed directory and you are good to go. However, I wouldn't do this as crimson isn't exactly up to date, the dom apis aren't standard (taken from an unofficial version of the spec), and I would make sure to put xalan.jar in there to override the old buggy version that comes with the JDK.
