Tomcat Wiki, please add me to the ContributorsGroup
Hi, I want to add some notes to the HowTo pages: how to run Tomcat on OpenVMS. The change to the main HowTo page is small, just a reference to a new page - similar to what is done for other OS specific notes: OS X, Solaris, ... Then I want to upload a new page which describes installing and running Tomcat on OpenVMS. This page includes the OS specific scripts. This is just a single contribution, nothing else is planned. If there is another way to get these notes into the HowTo without adding me (Wiki login name HartmutBecker), please let me know. Also, I'm aware that running Tomcat on OpenVMS may not be interesting for many users or readers of the HowTo, especially as Java 7 and 8 are not yet supported for OpenVMS. So if it is decided not to add my notes, I will accept it. Please let me know.

The FAQ/Other_Operating_Systems mentions a "bug report" and file contributions. From what I can see (in svn and the binary kits) only 5.0.30 contains one of these file contributions: jakarta-tomcat-5.0.30/bin/contrib/openVMS-alpha/TOMCAT_Setup_Java.com. I can't see this in 5.5.12, 6.0.0 or any later version (but I have to admit I didn't check them all and didn't check svn for any comment on this). I don't suggest to add my scripts to the contribution. However, anybody should feel free to do so - without asking me :-) My approach differs slightly from the one in the FAQ/"bug report" by providing the usual scripts like catalina[.com], startup[.com], shutdown[.com] and version[.com]. There is one additional script to setup/configure Java on OpenVMS, maybe similar/comparable to the previous TOMCAT_Setup_Java.com. Having the scripts in the HowTo makes them "unsupported" so that they don't need to be checked in or need to be maintained, other than by the interested user(s). On the other hand, it looks like the FAQ/Other_Operating_Systems needs some update as well. A pointer to the updated HowTo looks good enough to me. Anyway, I just wanted to give something back.
