When I downloaded the webapp and it's files, it expanded to include version 4.0.2 of Tomcat. Well, I thought that's not a problem, I'll just move the appropriate files to my current Tomcat webapps folder and modify it's install.bat file to point to the correct folders. But, in the jakarta/server/lib folder are two additional files called tools.1.3.1.jar and tools.1.4.1.jar. The install.bat file for this webapp creates a global variable pointing to the tools.1.4.1.jar file.
The Tomacat 4.1 server/lib folder doesn't contain either of these jar files.
A search of the Tomcat user archive doesn't find either file. A search of the knowledge base for the software doesn't come up with anything either. A search on google turned up a download from the apache.gnusoft.net java repository of avalon-meta- tools -1.3 .1.jar. A search on google for tools.1.4.1.jar turned up a reference to jdk-tools-1.4.1.jar on sourceforge.net. But that neither helped me figure out what I should do.
Yoav Shapira felt that the webapp distributor might be " trying to get around tomcat's JDK requirement by including the JDK's tools.jar file with his/her webapp distribution. If my guess is right, the 1.3.1 and 1.4.1 version numbers correspond to JDK version numbers." (At the time I first posted this question, I didn't know what version of Tomcat had been included with the webapp)
But I'm wondering if the tools.1.3.1.jar and tools.1.4.1.jar files were included with the 4.0.2 install of Tomcat? Anyone know? As far as I can tell, it's not available for download anymore for me to check.
I'm hesitant to just ignore the files, but I don't know if copying them to my Tomcat 4.1 lib folder will screw up my current installation.
Yoav, if you already knew that the files weren't part of the 4.0.2 install, my apologies for not taking your word.
