!! Tomcat upgrade to release 7.0.0.2

Let's play a bit with Tomcat 7 and see if my apps are still working......

! Download

Download the usual way from [http://tomcat.apache.org/download-70.cgi]

! Split manager role

If you are using {{conf/tomcat-users.xml}}, then split up the manager role in 4 roles:
%%prettify
{{{
.....
  <role rolename="manager"/>
  <role rolename="manager-gui"/>
  <role rolename="manager-script"/>
  <role rolename="manager-jmx"/>
  <role rolename="manager-status"/>
....
}}}
%%

! lib directory

new are:
* ecj-3.6.jar (we use the Eclipse JDT compiler for JSP compilation, so we no longer require a full JDK, but a JRE insteed)
* tomcat-api.jar ((Interfaces shared by Catalina and Jasper)) :
{{{
metskem@gneisenau:/usr/local/tomcat/lib$ jar -tf tomcat-api.jar

}}}

We don't copy the old {{mysql-connector-java-5.1.7-bin.jar}}, but download a fresh {{mysql-connector-java-5.1.13-bin.jar}} from [http://dev.mysql.com/] to the lib directory.

!! Starting up

First remove *.bat from the bin directory (we don't need these for sure on linux).\\
The fire up the bin/startup.sh :
%%small
