[TriLUG] Apache, Java, Servlets, oh my!

[Andy Hart]

If you go with the jboss/tomcat solution download Jboss-2.4.4-Tomcat-4.0.1
from jboss.org and download Tomcat 4.0.1 from apache. VERY good solution.

If you don't want an Application Server (Jboss) just get Tomcat 4.0.1. Very
simple to install.

Okay, so I'm thinking of setting up my apache 1.3.22 server to
work with java servlets and java server pages.  I notice that
Mandrake provides a nice easy rpm called ApacheJServ.  Unfortunately,
when I go to java.apache.org, it informs me that this is
woefully out of date and that I should be using Tomcat.  The
question is, which one!  There seem to be half a dozen versions
of Tomcat available and the apache site does absolutely no
good in telling you why you would want one over the other.
So, is there anyone out there that can explain the confusion?
Andy?  You work with this, right?

Oh, and I've heard interesting things about Cocoon.  If I want
to try that out, does that affect which version I should
install?!?
