After having my problem, and reading the discussion about invoker, security, etc, I decide to voice up.
My servlets work fine in both tomcat 4.03 and 4.1.12. However, none of my jsp pages work (not found). I guess, it has something to do with the servlet. The problem is that if I use the invoker, then it's secuity whole. If not, then I will have to change the web.xml to add a new entry for each of my new jsp pages, or even change the file name. That is very inconvenient, and very BAD considering I have to restart the tomcat server for this to take effect (Please correct me if I am wrong). I think Tomcat must be changed to be usable. Just to run JSP, servlets, I think you just drop it in and it should work. That's not hard to do and it's much easier than the rocket science people has put into tomcat. Why these developers leave the last mile of development to the users and let them scramble? Yes, people could argue about features/ease of use argument, but I am sick and tired of all intelligent argument, and stick with my common sense that I am much more productive to turn on the server and it works (with a few muse click on a GUI interface). Then there's people who argue about free and all that. Hey, if you think too much about free stuff you give out, then don't give out, or don't charge for it. After all, you can just post the http rfc, and let people build the server. The reason you do all that is that users don't have to do much to get things to work, so it's alot of value to add the last peice of puzzle to the board. Maybe the invoker stuff is just a temporary solution (to disable it), but I think it got to be fixed, and users should not need to do anything. About Apache and Tomcat things, I think it's much better to merge them into one. It's a big waste of time and headache for developers, users to configuer/ develop 2 servers to serve the web. I wonder when the developers start to see this, and find out one morning that porting/merging the two things together wasn't that bad an idea and wasn't that hard and wasn't that time consumming, and start to do so. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
