Hi all, I'm trying to set up tomcat and port an application that I developed and tested using Jrun, being new to the environment and I have two questions. My first question is adding additional jar files like jdbc jar files. I've been reading through a lot of material trying to figure out how to set up tomcat environment to do so, couldn't find any clear references. Under Jrun every web-application has a user classpath that can be modified for additional jar files and third party software. I can't find any such feature in tomcat. Can someone please give me some advice or where to find information on this issue?
I haven't read through all documentation yet but the general impression I've been getting is that to modify tomcat's environment and behavior the server must be rebuilt and can't be changed by simply switching the run time environment that supports a new feature. This brings me to my second question, in the document tomcat-3.2/tomcat-ssl-howto.html it is indicates that to use Tomcat with SSL it has to rebuild. Does that mean that if I download the binary I will not have the version that works with SSL? Or better yet if someday in the future I needed to add something that's not part of the features of the download then I would have to download and rebuild to get it? I thank you all in advance for you patience and help. As you may have guessed I'm new to both tomcat and Linux. Leila
