These changes apply to all ports, unless mentioned otherwise:
- Move jakarta-tomcat55 to tomcat55 (it is no longer a Jakarta project). [6]
- Improve the tomcat55 rc script. Fix PID handling. Improve the
shutdown process. Use USE_RC_SUBR to its full potential. [2]
- Backport tomcat55 rc script to the other tomcat ports. This allows
us to pass command line arguments to the JVM. Noted in UPDATING.

- Change ownership of installed files. All files are now installed
with default uid/gid (root:wheel) except for those in the conf/, logs/,
temp/ and work/ directories. [5]
- No longer install tomcatXXctl binary. rc scripts are more flexible
and can be reconfigured without recompiling.
- Remove AUTO_START and STOP_TIMEOUT (replaced with rc tomcatXX_stop_timeout).
- Remove a long list of sed expressions in favour of SUB_LIST.
- Move pkg_{,de}install to files/pkg_{,de}install.in. Add them to
SUB_FILES. Tidy up substitutions and remove hardcoded values.
- Some nonfunctional tidying and removal of Makefile cruft.

News & Status page:
A security vulnerability has been confirmed to exist in
Apache Tomcat 4.0.x releases (including Tomcat 4.0.5),
which allows to use a specially crafted URL to return the
unprocessed source of a JSP page, or, under special
circumstances, a static resource which would otherwise have been
protected by security constraint, without the need for being
properly authenticated. This is based on a variant of the
exploit that was disclosed on
09/24/2002.
See:
http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/release/v4.0.6/RELEASE-NOTES
not installed because there was the control program tomcat4ctl
already. For some instances, however, tomcat4ctl is not
powerful enough. For instance when setting up multiple
instances of Tomcat, see
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/RUNNING.txt.
Also added tools.jar to pkg-plist. It should have been added
previously.
Bumped PORTREVISION.
Prompted by: Gavin Cameron <gavin@itworks.com.au>
to 3.3.1. Using HTTP_PORT i.s.o. LISTEN_PORT. Using
daemonctl.c i.s.o. tomcatctl shell script. Displaying steps
i.s.o. commands being executed. Synced man page.
in ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d and the control script in ${PREFIX}/bin have
been refactored and now actually work very well.
Using the 'www' user and group, creating them if they don't exist.
I've used the same approach as www/apache13.
STDOUT_LOG and STDERR_LOG are now fixed (no ?= anymore) since the
package deinstall does not support a different location.
This fixes the first half of PR 28624.

* Bumped PORTREVISION
* Now displays installation settings
* Now possible to choose JDK. By default uses FreeBSD JDK 1.3.1 (instead of FreeBSD JDK 1.1.8)
* Does not depend on pinstall anymore
* Now possible to change TOMCAT_HOME. By default uses /jakarta-tomcat-3.2.3 (instead of /tomcat)
* Now possible to change LISTEN_PORT. Default is 8080 (unchanged)
* Added support for running Tomcat as a different user/group. By default a new user 'tomcat' and a new group 'tomcat' are created and used
* A 'tomcatctl' script is installed in /usr/local/bin/, which uses interprocess communication to start/stop/restart Tomcat
* Option is added for automatically starting Tomcat after install (AUTO_START). By default Tomcat is started right away
* Appends stdout and stderr to log files
* Uses a numeric prefix for the script in /etc/rc.d (now by default 020.jakarta-tomcat.sh instead of tomcat.sh)
