I wrote an article last month for Daemon News about Tomcat on FreeBSD. I have received a great deal of response from it. Most of the questions deal with: 1) Can you build from the ports.? ( I sincerly regret not doing so in the article!) 2) mod_jk ? How does it work ? Can you build it from the ports ? 3) what the hell is mod_webapp ? Can you build it from the ports ? 4) What is the difference between the ajc12 and ajc13 protocols? (Please note I am not asking for answers) The point being that people are hungry for knowledge and anything we can do to assist will help. A big Thanks to Ernst For the Tomcat and mod_jk ports.
