!!Tomcat 5.0.3 (June 23, 2003)
<a name="5.0.3"></a>

Tomcat 5.0.3 came out today, so I again attempted an upgrade.  But still no luck.  I had to do steps 1 and 2 again to get my app to start, and also I removed the offending code in step 3.  I also had to copy the commons-logging.jar from struts-rc2 to get Log4j's SMTP appender to work.  However, the database drivers won't load in this release - making it even worse that 5.0.2.

!!Tomcat 5.0.4 (July 15, 2003)
<a name="5.0.4"></a>

Tomcat 5.0.4 Alpha [was released|http://jakarta.apache.org/site/news.html#20030715.1] today, and according to [Dave|http://www.rollerweblogger.org/page/roller/20030714#first_usable_tomcat_5_release] it's a useable release.  Unfortunately, I cannot get it to work out-of-the-box with [AppFuse].  I'm getting the my favorite error:
{{{
java.sql.SQLException: Cannot load JDBC driver class 'null'
}}}
This app works beautifully in Tomcat 4.1.24 and I can put the exact same directory, appfuse.xml and jdbc driver in common/lib and it works.  I've sent a message to the tomcat-user group, but I'm not expecting a response as this question often goes unanswered.

__Update 1:__ I found that adding log4j.jar to $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib solved my problem, but now I get the following error when I start Tomcat and there is no logging to catalina.out:
{{{
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.apache.catalina.startup.Embedded).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
}}}
;:''Solved no logging by adding my generated log4.properties file to $CATALINA_HOME/common/classes''

__Update 2:__  I had to put appfuse.xml in $CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost.  So I guess the context.xml file must go in $CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost, rather than $CATALINA_HOME/webapps.  Doh!  Now I have to figure out a way to modify my "setup-tomcat" task to detect and deploy appropriately for Tomcat 5.  Here is the relevant part:
{{{
<echo level="info">Copying ${webapp.name}.xml to ${tomcat.home}/webapps</echo>
<copy tofile="${tomcat.home}/webapps/${webapp.name}.xml"
            file="metadata/web/tomcat-context.xml" />        
}}}

!!Tomcat 5.0.5 (July 28, 2003)
<a name="5.0.5a"></a>
Everything works the same as it did in Release 5.0.4 Alpha (above).

----
!!Tomcat 5.0.6 (August 4, 2003)
<a name="5.0.6a"></a>
Everything works the same as it did in Release 5.0.5 Alpha (above).  A did get a new error about parsing struts-menu.tld, but after looking at the logs, I discovered it's solved by putting log4j.jar in $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib.

To summarize - to install [AppFuse] (or [StrutsResume]) on Tomcat 5.0.4+, perform the following steps:
* Run <code style="font-size: 1.1em; color: green; font-weight: bold">ant setup-tomcat</code>, then <code style="font-size: 1.1em; color: green; font-weight: bold">mv $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/appfuse.xml $CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/.</code>
* <code style="font-size: 1.1em; color: green; font-weight: bold">cp lib/jakarta-log4j*/dist/lib/log4j*.jar $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib/.</code>
* <code style="font-size: 1.1em; color: green; font-weight: bold">cp build/appfuse/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties $CATALINA_HOME/common/classes/.</code>

__Later:__ I discovered (with [Remy's|http://jakarta.apache.org/site/whoweare.html] help) that if I removed ''privileged="true"'' from my &lt;Context&gt; definition - then my Log4j issues went away.  I thought that parameter meant that the app used a Realm, but after reading [the documentation|http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/config/context.html] (Set to true to allow this context
to use container servlets, like the manager servlet), I realize that I'm using it incorrectly.
