[opencms-dev] tomcat from eclipse (a bit OT)

[Dave Schoorl]

Your question triggered me to investigate the native library (I always 
wanted to do that one day, but never took the time), so I looked a 
little bit further. And when you are on Windows (and you are), you can 
download one (statically compiled) dll-file and drop it in your 
Windows\system32 directory and you are good to go. The info can be found 
on http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/apr.html. The file to 
download is called tcnative-1.dll and in the supplied link to the tomcat 
documentation you can find a download link for this file.

Linux users have to put in little bit more effort though.

Best regards,
Dave
