I have downloaded the src-dist for both 3 and 4 versions but have not yet genned the javadoc - I'll do that when I've looked at the catalina docs. I was hoping there may be docs prior to tc4 (we are currently on 3.3) but that is a big help nevertheless. I guess its likely I'll find out soon the extent of the rewrite.
