There was a thread a week or so ago all about the whole "LE vs. Full" debate. I don't understand all the ins and outs, but from what I gathered, there's really no reason at all to download the LE version unless you know exactly what you are doing, and have specific reasons for not needing the components that the LE version is missing. In general, everyone should be fine with the full version, and other than the download time, there is no difference from the perspective of most development.
So its the inverse of typical environments...usually you see things like "download this version, and if you want the extra stuff download the big version but the big version isn't required". The JDK does this...you can have all sorts of fun with J2SE, but J2EE has "extra" stuff that you don't necessarily need.
Tomcat is the reverse...the LE version is the full version missing some key components. Most people need these key components, some people do not. If you're one of the people who doesn't, then you will know it...otherwise, you're in the first group with the rest of us. So download the full version. :)
The latest version of the JDK works just fine with full version Tomcat 4.1.24.

Don't use the LE version...it's a special purpose distribution.
I was under the impression that the LE version was designed for JDK 1.4.x, which is what I'm running.
Also, in my opinion, you're much better off downloading the binary install of Tomcat, not the RPM. Download the binary, unpack it, set CATALINA_HOME, and start it up...its that easy. All covered in my HOWTO: http://www.johnturner.com/howto (ignore the parts about installing Apache and the JK connector and check out the part on installing Tomcat).
I will be connecting Tomcat to Apache soon, so the Apache / JK connector information will come in handy.
Thanks,

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to install the "light" version of Tomcat 4.1.24 on Redhat Linux 7.3 from the RPM on the Jakarta site, but It fails due to the following dependencies.
java_parser_impl xml-commons-apis I have already installed the Java 1.4 JDK RPM from the Sun website....
J2sdk-1_4_1_02-fcs-linux-i586.rpm
Being new to Linux, I'm unsure where to find these additional packages and have the following questions about RPMs in general.
01. When a dependency is listed, is it linked to a particular RPM file or can any RPM that installs the same components work? I imagine multiple RPMs can be used, since projects like Tomcat are split up into multiple RPM files to allow updating individual components.
02. If so, how do I know which RPM file fulfills a particular dependency, such as javap_parser_impl? I haven't had much success searching for RPMs that have the characters javap_parser_impl in it's name. Also, can a single RPM provide support for more than one dependency?
Sites like http://www.jpackage.org/ and http://rpmfind.net list many packages, but do not specify which dependency they resolve.
Thanks,
~Scott
