Tomcat and RHEL5.3

[fernando at lozano.eti.br]

Hi,


Insted of doing all this, configure the EPEL repository so you can use yum to install openjdk (which
is Sun JDK 1.6.0 open sourced -- and the current EPEL rpms were certified by the JCP). Then you can
use yum o install tomcat from RHEL repositories.

Easier than dealing with environment variables, already integrated to Linux boot and shutdown, and
getting updates the regular RHEL way (no wories about security bugs)
