[opencms-dev] problem

[Georgi Naplatanov]

Hello, Riccardo
opencms 5.x has problem with tomcat5 due different versions of xerces
library in opencms and the same lib in the tomcat. You have to copy
xerces* into $TOMCAT_HOME/common/endorsed.

Another way to resolve this problem is to get old tomcat 4.x with
opencms and store it on the new server, just to use old tomcat 4.x
instalation not 5.5 which comes with CentOS.

In my point of view tomcat4+opencms5 is better combination. If you need
to use another java application with more modern jsp/servlet container
you may start another tomcat 5.5 or 6.0 on different ports, not 8080 and
8009.

Regards
Georgi
