I have not tried the older versions of Tomcat as we have recently started using version 5 under Windows at work, and I wanted to create as similar an environment at home as possible. This is not a critical production environment, so if you say that Tomcat 5 should work with a JDK other than the Diablo 1.3.1, then that is good enough to keep me going :-) Btw the tomcat50ctl utility has the full path to the Diablo JDK hard-coded in it, which is why I renamed the original Diablo JDK install directory and created the symlink from jdk-1.4.2 to diablo-1.3.1. This is not the cleanest solution, but Diablo JDK 1.3.1 was installed as a dependancy of Tomcat 5, and I do not believe it is needed by anything else I have installed.
