Description Marek Fukala 2003-11-06 10:23:28 UTC 
[S1S5 Enterprise 2004Q1 Arrow, #031024_1]
To reproduce follow these steps:
1) prepare a tomcat 4.1.* installation
2) in the IDE go to runtime tab/runtime node/installed server/tomcat and perform 'add tomcat installation' popup action
3) fill up the form with appropriate data and let the integration mode set to full.
4) hit ok

In the IDE the tomcat support work fine, but trying to run the 'imported' server outside from IDE causes some exceptions in log files.

a) The IDE adds a filter section into ${CATALINA_HOME}/conf/web.xml to support requests monitoring
b) The 'jsp' servlet responsible to JSP pages org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet is replaced by an IDE one.

Both these changes causes the external tomcat is not working anymore (without any modifications of the file of course ;-) ) ,for the classes specified in the global web.xml are missing.

The user may also be informed about the changes that are going to be done in the tomcat installation and undoubtedly a backup of the modified files has to be created.

Priority moved to P2
Comment 3 Milan Kuchtiak 2003-11-14 16:43:09 UTC 
Netbeans3.5 was not intended to work wit Tomcat4.1.x external
installation in full IDE Integration Mode. This was described in
documentation.

More correct soulution would be to recognize the version and notify
the user about that.
Comment 4 Petr Jiricka 2004-01-07 11:00:38 UTC 
Marek, can you please try out what the behavior is now? Since Tomcat
4.1 is not a target platform, changing to ENHANCEMENT.
Comment 5 Marek Fukala 2004-01-07 15:40:38 UTC 
The behaviour has definitely changed. Now when you fill up the dialog
for your 4.1.* installation and press OK an ISE appears and no
instance is added. I would appreciate having a version simple test
performed after filling up the installation directory. It could warn
users that they are trying to use an unsupported version of tomcat.

We do not really plan to do anything for Tomcat 4.x.
