Links User Guide Reference Apache Tomcat Development | | Introduction |
A number of additional third party components may be used with Apache Tomcat, but are not
provided directly in the downlad bundle for a variety of reasons. These may be built by
users should they need it.
|
| Building |
The additional components are built using the extras.xml Ant script which is
present in the source bundle of Tomcat.
The build process is the following:
- Follow the build instructions to build a Tomcat binary from
the source bundle (note: it will be used by the build process of the additional components, but
does not need to be actually used later on)
- Execute the command
ant -f extras.xml to run the build script
- The additional components JARs will be placed in the
output/extras folder
- Refer to the documentation below about the usage of these JARs

| Components list |
| Full commons-logging implementation |
Tomcat uses a package renamed commons-logging API implementation which is hardcoded to use
the java.util.logging API. The commons-logging additional component builds a full fledged
package renames commons-logging implementation which can be used to replace the implementation
provided with Tomcat. See the logging page for usage instructions.
|
| Web Services support (JSR 109) |
Tomcat provides factories for JSR 109 which may be used to resolve web services references.
Place the generated catalina-ws.jar as well as jaxrpc.jar and wsdl4j.jar (or another implementation
of JSR 109) in the Tomcat lib folder.
