Why do we need anything more than a WAR to get people started? Let's say:
1. Download the current version of Tomcat. Decompress it and configure it as needed. 2. Download the latest Turbine Sample Application WAR. 3. Copy it to the webapps directory inside your Tomcat installation directory. 4. Start your Tomcat. 5. Lauch a browser and type: http://localhost:8080/turbine/servlet/sample 6. Voila! What else would be needed? We could even have different WAR's: one using JSP, one using Velocity, another using different services, another using Torque. I am almost a newbie, but seems possible to me. Am I wrong? Rodrigo ----- Original Message ----- From: "Henning P.
