I have Apache installed on our i-Series and running Tomcat. Using the HTTP
Configurator we are only able to see JDK 1.2 and JDK 1.3. What must we do
for Tomcat to see JDK 1.4. We do have 5722JV1   Java Developer Kit 1.4
installed.

Thanks

The reason you do not see the option for JDK 1.4 as an option on the HTTP
Admin is because that JDK level is not officially supported with the
Tomcat 3.2.4 shipped with iSeries.

You can try modifying Tomcat to run with JDK 1.4 by manually editing the
workers.properties file and changing the following lines:
worker.jni.sysprops=java.version=1.3 becomes
"worker.jni.sysprops=java.version=1.4"
worker.inprocess.sysprops=java.version=1.2 becomes
"worker.inprocess.sysprops=java.version=1.4"
worker.inprocess.class_path=/QIBM/ProdData/java400/jdk12/lib/tools.jar
must be modified to point to the JDK 1.4 path.

Note that such a modification means you'd be running a Tomcat
configuration that is not officially supported by IBM, but if you require
JDK 1.4 and you do not experience problems, you may not care about that
risk.  If you experience problems, your other options are to download a
more recent version of Tomcat (4) on your own, or migrate to WAS - Express
5.1, which will support JDK 1.4.  The announcement details on Express 5.1
can be found at:  http://www.ibm.com/isource/cgi-bin/...203-339
