A few questions about the downloads :
1./ Windows Installer version
(I assume this is the .exe in the main download folder ; I would have
expected it in the "bin" subfolder...). What does this file actually do? I
imagine that it unzips the files and installs Tomcat as a service (using
jk_nt_service) -- am I correct so far? Does it do anything else, such as
modify "httpd.conf" for Apache or any other server setup files (for IIS or
whatever)?
2./ mod_webapp
- Where's the Windows binary?! The only version I see is for Linux (at
present).
- Is this connecter "stable" code?
- Is it only for Apache 2.0, or can it be used with 1.3.20, etc.?
- Is there any documentation for mod_webapp (I don't know how to use it...)?
- What's the difference between mod_webapp and mod_jk anyway?!
3./ NT service
I currently use JavaService, available from
http://www.alexandriasc.com/software/JavaService/index.html, to run Tomcat
3.2.3 as a service. Is this still possible with Tomcat 4.0, or do I need to
use jk_nt_service ?
Thanks,
Chris B.
