Howdy, let's make it strait first. i'm not an expert and if i make a mistake, i hope i'll be corected ( and i'll learn some more of course ;-). i was faced with same problem today and what i did was: cvsup ports and have the latest for 4.3 i installed linux-jdk1.3.1 from ports (cd /usr/ports/java/linux-jdk1.3.1/) you will need to download jdk from the sun.com. btw, i found after you install java, to mv /usr/local/linux-jdk1.3.1 to /usr/local/jdk1.3.1/ download all the good stuff for java (jsee,jxml). download jakarta-tomcat ( source code), jakarta servlets and jakarta ant. i opted for jakarta tomcat v3.2.3. after java was installed(+jsee,jxml), i installed ant => jakarta servlets =>tomcat. at the end of the day i had tomcat serving servlets on port 8080 on my laptop and all the examples functional. tomorrow i'll try combo with apache. if worse come to worse, i'll have apache running on the server and tomcat. hth alex On Wed, 1 Aug 2001, Adam Maloney wrote: > Hello, > > The gist of my question is: What do I need to be able to run JSP and/or Java > Servlets (I gather these are 2 different entities?) under Apache-1.3.x and > FreeBSD?

I'm getting the impression that jdk12-beta is java 2 (since java 2 is > really java 1.2...sigh), follow those instructions, fetch the jdk-1...-src > from Sun and the patches from wherever, but the checksum on the patches fail.
