hi all;
tomcat 5.5.9 is now stable so i thought its a good oportunity to ask if there should be any problem running jforum over tomcat 5.5.9.

specifically i am interested in jforum 2.0.2 over tomcat 5.5.9 with jdk 1.4 (not 1.5).

but i will soon be interested in other permutations such as jforum 2.0.2, tomcat 5.5.9, jdk 1.5 or jforum 2.1.x over tomcat 5.5.9 and so on...

any help would be great.
thanks in advance.

Hmm.. will Tomcat 5.5.9 work with JDK < 1.5? as far as I know, it is supposed to run with Java 5.

Anyway, I don't recomend running JForum (any version until this date) under a 5.0 VM. I have experienced some runtime problems with it when using JForum.

you can run tomcat 5.5.x with jdk1.4.
it requires the compatibility pack which is just a simple zip file with 4 files.

so i guess no one checked this?

ok;
so i managed to get jforum 2.0.2 to run over tomcat 5.5.9 with jdk1.4
took me 3 seconds.
i played with it for a short while and it looked ok.
should i try something specific to see if it works 100%?

I'm using JForum 2.1.4 on JDK 1.5 and Tomcat 5.5.9 now.
It works fine.

Yes, I use postgresql 7.4.7-2 on my CentOS Linux box.
If somebody wants to try Tomcat 5.5.9+JDK 5.0+JForum 2.1.4, he can choose to use postgresql for test.
I didn't try mysql, so I don't make promise that this configuration would work on mysql. We can wait for Rafael to make it work or help him test it.

HHmm.. are you sure you don't have the context declared twice? For example, one time in server.xml and another in Conf/localhost/forum.xml

hi andowson ;

this is a way off topic but maybe you can clear something for me
i am porting from 5.0.30 to 5.5.9 and when starting 5.5.9, my application is deployed twice. I see all the startup resources being created twice - 2 contexts etc..). P.S the tomcat user list was not helpfull....

did you by any chance encounter this issue?

hi rafael.
actually;
i was reffering to an application different than jforum (thats why i said off topic). however, its really wierd so i will check it again with jforum.

i tried moving my context element to Conf/localhost/MyApp.xml but than the path="" is ignored and the manager application becomes the root application instead of my app.
thanks.

ok;
i have managed to duplicate the problem with jforum.
it seems that the load-on-startup in tomcat 5.5.9 has a bug.
i deployed jforum and put a load-on-startup with value 1 on the jforum servlet and the application got deployed twice.
i have know idea if this is a know issue but anyone with information on this is welcomed.

see console output to see 2 deployments:

rafael, do you think 2.1.5 will include jdk 5.0 support for mysql?
is there a time frame for that?
thanks in advance.

by the way rafael;
do you think the only problem here is connector-j?
i mean, can i run 2.0.2 with a "working" connector j (3.1.8 maybe) over java 5.0?

if the only problem is connector-j and there is no need for code adjustments in jforum, its prefferable for my situation to just update connector-j.....

You could give it a try. I didn't try 3.1.8, but 3.1.7 was a shit.

The main problem was with some PreparedStatements, specially when having LIMIT ?, ? clauses, and lost of connections / broken pipes while comunicating with the mysql server.
