Try this URL: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/jakarta-tomcat/src/doc/uguide/tomcat_ug.html It goes in detail on several versions of tomcat.conf and other configuration files. Do a search for tomcat.conf on the page. That should help. > > Also, I'm reading that tomcat doesn't reload altered servlets automatically. > I think apache/jserv does it.

(I think reload is set on by default.) Remember, that servlets now need to be in the webapp archive location. Specifically, the zones are (basically) replaced by the webapps structure. So, a webapp should declare the servlets that are available to the web server. (Forget about zones.) If the webapp is set to reload, any classes in the webapp structure will be reloaded when they change. > Spent the whole day with downloading/compiling/installing tomcat now > and to step further with development. Also, you (shouldn't) need to recompile anything. Re-use the mod_jserv.so from the jserv package you already have. The above URL should help. (Note that I found the URL at the bottom of the main tomcat page... at http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/index.html under the 'user's guide' link. The 'application developers guide' has some useful information, but the first URL that I gave should provide the most amount of help.)
