I'd want to create and deploy new Virtual(s) Host(s) and Contexts without having to restart the entire Tomcat Server (4.1.31 or 5.0.28). This works if my Host(s) exist in server.xml when I start Tomcat. BUT, if I want to create and deploy new Hosts before deploying new Contexts, I don't succeed (I tried this with the Tomcat Admin tool and the Tomcat Manager Tool) In my test, I create a new Host (myHOST) with the Tomcat Admin tool. I put a manager Context into it. The problem is : With the Admin GUI, it's not possible to put privileged=true !! so, when I launch http://myHost:8080/manager/html/list, I have a SecurityException because the HTMLManagerServlet is privileged and cannot be loaded by this web app... So, the new feature consist in : add the privileged property within the tomcat Admin form. Note : it is the same with Tomcat 5.0.28.
Fixed in TC4.1.x and TC5.5.x
I thought TC5.5 was the developpement version and TC5.0 was the stable version for the servlet 2.4... If it is so, is it possible to fix this problem in TC5.0.30 ?
As per http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/index.html 5.5.4 is the latest stable TC5 release. 5.5.x is now the focus of development effort. An explanation of the differences between 5.0.x and 5.5.x is also given.
I'd want to get the latest version of TC4.1 Manager. Where is it ? jakarta-tomcat-4.0 ? (is yes, which tag) ? I search within http://jakarta.apache.org/site/cvsindex.html If I am right : jakarta-tomcat is for TC3.2 and TC3.3 jakarta-tomcat-4.0 is for TC4.0 (and TC 4.1?) jakarta-tomcat-5 is for TC5.0 and TC5.5 jakarta-tomcat-catalina is for TC5.0 ?
This is a question for the tomcat-user mailing list. Also, please do not add people to the CC list without their permission. It is both rude and inconsiderate. If they want to add themselevs they will.
