I just got bitten by the Tomcat6 being compiled for JDK 1.6, for someone who is used to the standard distributions from http://tomcat.apache.org/ I lost quite a bit of time chasing down the reason.
It wasn't helped by the fact that in the file /etc/init.d/tomcat6 is the line: JDK_DIRS="/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun /usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun /usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-ibm" which means that tomcat6 will attempt to use a 1.5 JDK if a 1.6 JDK isn't installed. Tomcat 6 runs fine on JDK 1.5 and it would be helpful if the packaged version was compiled so that it would run against it. -- Package does not work with JDK 5 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/264808 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
