I just make a /opt/tomcat tree, shove both Sun's JRE and Apache's Tomcat in there, create a custom /etc/init.d/tomcat script, and call it good. I keep a tarball of the tree and all relevant configs on a network drive, available for kickstart %post installation. Getting the gcj-compiled version of Tomcat to work with Java keystores was an exercise in futility. -- Paul Heinlein <> heinlein at madboa.com <> www.madboa.com
