               Building The Tomcat 4.1 Servlet/JSP Container
               =============================================

This subproject contains the source code Tomcat 4.1, a server that implements
the Servlet 2.3 and JSP 1.2 Specifications.  In order to build a binary
distribution version of the container from a source distribution, you must
have a Java Development Kit (JDK) for version 1.4 (or later) downloaded
and installed and do the following:


(1) Download and Install a Java Development Kit

* Download a Java Development Kit (JDK) release (version 1.4 or later) from:

    http://java.sun.com/j2se/

* Install the JDK according to the instructions included with the release.

* Set an environment variable JAVA_HOME to the pathname of the directory
  into which you installed the JDK release.

* Tomcat 4.1 may be built using a 1.3 JDK but this will not create a full
  binary distribution. The documentation web application is one of the
  components that will be excluded when building with a 1.3 JDK


(2) Download and Install the Ant Binary Distribution

* Download a binary distribution of Ant 1.5 or later from:

    http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi

  On a Windows platform, you will need:
    apache-ant-1.7.0-bin.zip

  On a Unix platform, you will need:
    apache-ant-1.7.0-bin.tar.gz

* Unpack the binary distribution into a convenient location so that the
  Ant release resides in its own directory (conventionally named
  "apache-ant-1.7.0").  For the purposes of the remainder of this document,
  the symbolic name "${ant.home}" is used to refer to the full pathname of
  the release directory.

* Modify the PATH environment variable to include directory
  "${ant.home}/bin" in its list.  This makes the "ant" command line script
  available, which will be used to actually perform the build.


(3) Download and Install the Java XML Pack Binary Distribution

* Download a binary distribution of Java XML Pack:

    http://java.sun.com/xml/downloads/javaxmlpack.html

* Unpack the binary distribution into a convenient location so that the
  Java XML Pack release resides in its own directory (the JAXP libraries
  reside in the jaxp-1.2_01 subdirectory).  For the purposes of the 
  remainder of this document, the symbolic name "${jaxp.home}" is used 
  to refer to the full pathname to the jaxp-1.2_01 subdirectory of the 
  Java XML Pack release directory.

* Make the "xalan.jar" file of this distribution available to Ant (so that
  it can be used with the <style> tag) by copying it to "${ant.home}/lib".

* This is optional with JDK 1.4 or later.


(4) Download and Install the Xerces 1 or 2 Distribution

* Download a binary distribution from:

  http://xerces.apache.org/xerces2-j/download.cgi

  (Tomcat was tested with "Xerces-J-bin.2.9.1.zip")

* Unpack the binary distribution into a convenient location so that the
  distribution resides in its own directory (conventionally named
  "xerces-x_y_z").

* In your build.properties file, you will need to set properties differently
  based on which version of Xerces you are using:
  - For versions 1.3.1 up through and including 2.0.0beta3,
    set the "xerces.jar" property to point at the full
    pathname of the corresponding file.
  - For version 2.0.0beta4 and later, set the "xmlParserAPIs.jar"
    and "xercesImpl.jar" properties to point at the corresponding
    files
  - If you have defined both sets of properties, the newer (two files)
    packaging will be loaded into the Tomcat you are building

* This is optional with JDK 1.4 or later.


(5) Download and Install Tomcat 4.1.x Source Code

* Use anonymous SVN (as described on the Tomcat web site at
  http://tomcat.apache.org/svn.html) to obtain the
  Tomcat 4.1.x modules.

  NOTE 1: Nightly builds and source distributions are no longer
  produced for Tomcat 4.x

  NOTE 2: Alternatively, you can grab the source distribution from a
  formal release, if you wish, by following links on the Tomcat web site.

* Unpack the source distribution into a convenient location so that the
  distribution resides in its own directory (conventionally named
  "apache-tomcat-4.1").  For the purposes of the remainder of this document,
  the symbolic name "${tomcat.source}" is used to refer to the full
  pathname of the release directory.


(6) Download and Install the Servlet 2.3 API Binary Distribution

* The Servlet 2.3 APi source is included in the source obtained in step
  5. To build the Servlet APi from source, open a command line shell and
  issue the following commands:

    - cd ${tomcat.source}/servletapi
    - ant dist

  NOTE 1:  Alternatively, you can use the binary distribution that is
  incldued with binary distributions of Tomcat 4.x.

  NOTE 2:  You can also use the servlet.jar that is distributed with the
  J2EE 1.3.x SDK.

(28) Customize Build Properties For This Subproject

You are able to customize the Ant build process using properties (with default
values defined in the "build.properties.default" and the "build.xml" file.
This is done by creating a text file named "build.properties" in the source
distribution directory (for property definitions local to a single module)
and/or your user home directory (for property definitions shared across
modules).  You can use the included "build.properties.default" file as a
starting point for this.

Tomcat has many external dependencies that are satisfied by configuring
appropriate values in your build.properties file.  The easiest
way to satisfy these dependencies is to copy the "build.properties.default"
file (in the Tomcat "container" source directory) to "build.properties", and
then edit it to suit your environment.  On Unix, this would be done as:

  cd ${tomcat.source}/container
  cp build.properties.sample build.properties
  emacs build.properties

NOTE:  Be *sure* that you do not check "build.properties" in to the SVN
repository.  This file is local to your own development environment, and
each developer will have their own version.


(29) Build A Binary Distribution

Open a command line shell, and issue the following commands:

  cd ${tomcat.source}/container
  ant -projecthelp

If everything is installed correctly, you should see a list of the Ant
"targets" that represent different commands you might wish to build.

You can check that all dependencies are correctly installed by using 
the following commands:

  cd ${tomcat.source}/container
  ant detect

By convention, the "dist" target creates a complete binary distribution.  To
execute it, type the following commands:

  cd ${tomcat.source}/container
  ant dist

This will create a complete binary distribution of the subproject (equivalent
in structure to the corresponding binary distribution downloadable from the
Jakarta web site), in the "${tomcat.source}/container/dist" directory.  It
will have the contents described in the corresponding "README.txt" file.

See the document RUNNING.txt for instructions on how to start up and shut down
the servlet/JSP container.


(30) Steps (31) to (33) Build the Windows Installer Distribution - OPTIONAL

(31) NSIS installer

* Download the NSIS Installer version 2.14 or later from:

    http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/nsis/nsis-2.14-setup.exe?download

* Install the application into a convenient location so that it resides in its
  own subdirectory.


(32) Run Ant

Open a command line shell, and issue the following commands:

  cd ${tomcat.source}/container
  ant installer



(33) Build the release distribution - OPTIONAL

Open a command line shell, and issue the following commands:

  cd ${tomcat.source}/container
  ant release
