            <p>It has been a long long time since I last played around with Tomcat. The last version I worked with was tomcat 4.1.27 and that itself tells a story. I had it configured to collaborate with my apache installation via the JK connector. However in the process of making numorous changes to apache this connection was broken (<a href="https://www.raditha.com/blog/archives/000344.html">it happened long before I switched to Apache+SSL</a>). All in all tomcat has been cat napping for quite some time, so I decide to give version 5 a go.</p>
            <p>The new version supports the Servlet 2.4 and JSP 2.0 specifications but not having read either of them yet, I am in no position to comment on them. I can at least get familiar with the javadocs for the new specification as I work on this.</p>
            <p>What's most impressive about the new version is the documentation. It's immensly readable and does not look like an after though. I thought the docs from the older versions were rather disconcerting.</p>
            <p>I was thinking of running tomcat under daemontools, and did a quick search to see if anyone had tried it and one of the first usefull results was from <a href="http://www.infodancer.org/software/tomcat.jsp">infodancer</a>. I keep bumping into him.</p>
