Not really. To run an app under Tomcat 5, you should build against the Tomcat 5 JARs and such, which would limit the chances of that same WAR file working transparently under Tomcat 3. Not to mention, you really want your dev and production environments to mirror one another. Otherwise, how can you be certain the app will act the same in the two environments? To experiment with Tomcat 5, setup a separate instance and rebuild your app there. You can run both Tomcat versions on the same machine, if you play your cards right. For your other questions (e.g. how to create a WAR file, how to deploy), you may want to review the servlet spec and the Tomcat docs. -QM -- software -- http://www.brandxdev.net tech news -- http://www.RoarNetworX.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
