Tomcat and 1.5 Was: Tomcat on XP

[Tim Diggins]

Is it generally a good idea to develop on 1.5 - I actually like working 
in 1.5 (generics, annotations, etc. all good stuff, despite some of the 
implementation weirdness), but have avoided doing servlet stuff in 1.5 
to date, as I'm not sure if it's a good idea... My project doesn't go 
live till December, so does it seem reasonable to go with 1.5? Or will 
that seriously limit options if, for example I need to switch containers 
or something (e.g. to Resin Pro) in case of performance issues.

Any thoughts helpful here (hate having to hold myself back with 
type-unsafe collections, but it's much more of a pain to go from generic 
code to non-generic than the other way around, I think).

Thanks
Tim

Tomcat 5.5.x does not work with Java 1.4 unless you install a
compatibility patch
since you are developing, i recommend you install the JDK 1.5 and
update your JAVA_HOME to point to 1.5 instead of 1.4

Hi,
I am not getting the tomcat home page while trying to run tomcat in
Windows XP. I had set the JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME path variables
and stopped other servers(IIS ans apche) running in the system.
But I couldn't see anything by typing http://localhost:8080. The
utilitie's that I used are tomcat 5.5.9.exe and j2sdk1.4.2_07.
Any thoughts ? It will be of great help if any of you could help in
this
regard.
cheers,
