Hi, >Ok, forgive my ignorance but can someone show me where there are >descriptions for the files available: >http://apache.mirrors.esat.net/jakarta/tomcat-5/v5.5.5/README.html >gives brief descriptions but I have other questions:
We intend for the description on the download pages to be sufficient. >Do the .zip and .exe contain all the others? If not which do they contain, >just the Admin App.? There are several .zip files: which one are you asking about? The main one (jakarta-tomcat-x.y.z.zip) contains Tomcat. Others are specialized versions and subcomponents that are probably of no interest to you as a general user. >Why would I want the admin app separately? What previous versions of TC >will >it run under if any? Whether you want it separately or not, we package it separately starting with Tomcat 5.5 to reduce the download size of the main distributions. No everyone uses the admin webapp, so not everyone should have to download/install it. It has nothing to do with running it on previous versions on TC. >When would I use a standalone deployer? What is it? Can I deploy from my PC >up to a server with it? The deployer is well-documented at http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/deployer-howto.html. You'd use it if/when you felt like it. It's not needed. >When would I use an embedded version? When you're embedding Tomcat in your own application. >If there are docs to answer these questions somewhere please point me that >way. If not I will get the info and type it up if anyone wants me to. The majority of users will only get jakarta-tomcat-x.y.z.zip. It contains the Tomcat core. If you want to install on Windows as a service, you'd get the exe. If you want to embed Tomcat inside your app, you'd get the embedded zip. If you want the Admin webapp, you'd get its zip file and add it to whatever else you have going. If you want to use the deployer by itself, you'd get that zip. We provide .tar.gz versions of all these because there's demand for them from unix folks, for compatibility across a wider range of platforms, and for historical reasons.
