Did you test anything beyond startup? Tomcat expects a full Sun-like JDK layout where you specify JAVA_HOME, so I doubt you set it to use sablevm and it ran without issue. The Suggests for tomcat-webapps will most likely change to a Recommends, but there are admins who like to run fairly locked-down Tomcat installs without the admin and manager apps on them. The failures you have expereienced are probably able to be resolved through configuration and use of a proper runtime alternative. If you want to run free, I would recommend kaffe for now. > Perhaps JDK_DIRS in /etc/init.d/tomcat4 should include /usr/lib/sablevm > - & perhaps /usr/lib/fjsdk - if it worked : ) [...] JDK_DIRS only includes paths to JDKs that *work* fully, and that collection serves as a convenience. Any other experimentation or a desire to use a specific JDK should be done by setting JAVA_HOME in /etc/default/tomcat4. Once we have free runtimes other than kaffe that support everything Tomcat needs, you can be sure that they will be included. - -- Barry Hawkins All Things Computed site: www.alltc.com weblog: www.yepthatsme.com Registered Linux User #368650 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCXYiSHuKcDICy0QoRArKyAJ9JsRIMwStI6pIgwBVvSZI6BL+9dgCdGkAP FsamRhieZNmLyCszbe57ViA= =qMit -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
