How do I subscribe?
See
the mailing list page.
If you are unable to subscribe, it could be due to your e-mail system
mangling your e-mail addres.
If you send an e-mail to the list owner to subscribe you to the list,
be prepared to wait until the owner has an opportunity to add you
to the list.
Why won't people answer my question?
It could be one of any of the following answers:
- No one knows the answer.
- Everyone is ignoring you.
- The person who knows the answer hasn't gotten around to
it yet.
- The person who knows the answer hasn't gotten around to
it yet. (So please don't post the same question
multiple times)
In other words - you get what you pay for. If you phrase
you question intelligently and not make your question annoying,
your quality of support will
probably better than any commercial help support.
In particular, some readers on the tomcat-user list have been
known to automatically ignore
a message which meets any of the following criteria:
(You have been warned)
- "help" in the subject line
(we know you need help by writing in the first place)
- plz or please in the subject line.
We already know you need help.
- ALL CAPS IN THE SUBJECT LINE. (Sorry for anyone
emailing from a mainframe)
- Do not place !! (more than 2!) in the subject line.
The number of exclamation points has no relation to anyone's
interest in answering the question. In fact - it has a higher
chance at being ignored.
- Your e-mail has a return receipt. You don't need to know
I got the message.
- Select posters who have consistently displayed no
desire to research before posting a question.
How do I unsubscribe?
See
the mailing list page.
If you are unable to unsubscribe, it could be due to your e-mail system
mangling your e-mail address or you have subscribed under an alias.
In that case, maybe
this thread
will help.
If you send an e-mail to the list owner to remove you from the list,
be prepared to continue receiving more e-mails from the lists until
the owner has an opportunity to remove you from the list.
Should I post to users or dev?
tomcat-user is for user based questions for tomcat. That means anyone who is
developing any type of software to be used with tomcat.
tomcat-dev is the forum to discuss changes to the Tomcat's source code.
If your question
is not related to changing the source code as maintained
by the tomcat committers,
then it does not belong here, it belongs on
the users list.
If you wish to extend tomcat using your own Valve, Realm, or anything
else ... those discussions belong in tomcat-user. You might be using
Tomcat's internal API but unless your changes are going back into the
official source tree, the question belongs on the user list.
