JAVA_HOME env var requirements
Does anyone know if Java2 must be installed on the system where Tomcat is installed (ie. deployment machine), i have seen JAVA_HOME that needs to be set, so i set it to /usr/java, but that is only JAVA1.1. It seems that all my example jsp and test jsp pages work, but that variable concerns me.
I only want to have the bare minimum installed really on the deployment machine and what i thought i needed was:
apache httpd package
jakarta tomcat package (port 8080 disabled, 8007 enabled)
jakarta servletapi package
mod_jserv OR mod_jk (did not make my own mod_jk yet)
If I need anything else as far as running efficiently JSP please let me know. I am still browsing through the pages, but JAVA_HOME i know i need it, but is it actually used to compile?
Thanks,
Lec
