       <p>
         A number of additional third party components may be used with Apache
         Tomcat. These components may be built by users should they need them or they
         can be downloaded from one of the mirrors.
       </p>
     
       </section>
     
       <section name="Downloading">
       <p>
         To down load the extras components open the Tomcat 6 download page and
         select "browse" from the Quick Navigation Links. The extras components can be
         found in bin/extras. 
       </p>
       </section>
       
       <section name="Building">
     
         <p>
           The additional components are built using the <code>extras.xml</code> Ant
           script which is present in the source bundle of Tomcat.
         </p>
         
         <p>The build process is the following:</p>
         
         <ul>
         <li>Follow the <a href="building.html">build instructions</a> 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)</li>
         <li>Execute the command <code>ant -f extras.xml</code> to run the build
             script</li>
         <li>The additional components JARs will be placed in the
             <code>output/extras</code> folder</li>
         <li>Refer to the documentation below about the usage of these JARs</li>
         </ul>

       <subsection name="Full commons-logging implementation">
     
       <p>
         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 renamed commons-logging
         implementation which can be used to replace the implementation provided with
         Tomcat. See the <a href="logging.html">logging</a> page for usage
         instructions.
       </p>
     
       </subsection>
     
       <subsection name="Web Services support (JSR 109)">
     
       <p>
         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.
       </p>
     
       <p>
         Users should be aware that wsdl4j.jar is licensed under CPL 1.0 and not the
         Apache License version 2.0.
