Jacob,
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" :)
I would second your point of view IF guys who make LE version gave us pointers to ALL missing components, like JavaMail, etc.
On the other hand, using system-wide XML parsers, and only those, has a drawback. Suppose one of your applications needs a particular version, while it doesn't sit well with Tomcat. What confusion will ensue then?
I believe that Craig commented something like that on the notion of having "global" Struts installation in Tomcat. OK, granted, it makes more sense, since you can build your WebApp for a particular version of Struts, while XML API should stay the same. But still, if you have a combo that is working - Tomcat X.Y.Z and Xerces A.B.C - then it is reasonable to ship it together.
Nix.
