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> </section> <section name="Components list"> <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. </p> </subsection> </section> </body> </document>
