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.
Well, I browsed around http://localhost:8180/index.jsp & ran some of the demo sevlets & JSPs - so far so good.
I'm setting up libapache-mod-jk2 as I speak...
It's a stock installation of -
sablevm & jikes-sablevm 1.11.1-2 jikes 1.22-2 tomcat4 4.1.31-2
- with -
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/sablevm JSP_COMPILER=jikes TOMCAT4_SECURITY=no
JSP_COMPILER=jikes compiles some JSPs that otherwise fail - but init script could do -
if [ -z "$JSP_COMPILER" -a "$JAVA_HOME" = "/usr/lib/sablevm" ]; then JSP_COMPILER=jikes fi
- like it does for kaffe & kjc
[...] 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.
kaffe doesn't currently work for me at all - http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.java/4329
sablevm currently works at least as well : )
Sincere thanks for maintaining tomcat!
