1: Requirement

The following are reuired:

The Apache http server is compiled with DSO support. My documentation about building Apache is also available here.
Tomcat3.1 is isntalled. The binary distribution is enough. We can use the pre-compiled JAR files supplied with the binary distribution.
The source distribution of Tomcat3.1 is downloaded and extracted. While we need not to compile any Java classes, the JServ module must be compiled from the source. When extracted, under jakarta-tomcat/src/native/apache/jserv directory, the source of JServ module can be found.

2: Do you apply my patch? (Option)

If you like, you can download and apply my patch to Tomcat. Though Tomcat3.1 runs well with Apache, there are some restrictions. For details about the restricitions and my solutions, please read my documentation. The source distribution of related classes are also available in this page.

3: Compiling the JServ module

The source of the JServ module is supplied with the source distribution of Tomcat3.1. Assuming that Apache is compiled with DSO support, the following shell script compiles and installs the JServ module into Apache:

#!/bin/sh

SRC_DIR=/opt/src
export SRC_DIR

APACHE_HOME=/opt/local/apache
export APACHE_HOME

echo "Start to compile JServ for Tomcat..."

cd ${SRC_DIR}/jakarta-tomcat/src/native/apache/jserv
${APACHE_HOME}/bin/apxs -c mod_jserv.c jserv*.c 
${APACHE_HOME}/bin/apxs -i -a -n jserv mod_jserv.so

echo "Done!"

Note that 'SRC_DIR' must point the directory where the source distribution of Tomcat3.1 was extarcted.
