Apache Tomcat

Before you can send a message to one of the Tomcat lists, you must subscribe to that list. If you try to send a message to a list from an e-mail address that is not subscribed to the list, it will be rejected.

All messages to the Tomcat lists are filtered for spam. To avoid your valid message being marked as spam:

• send your message in plain text, not HTML;
• include a subject.

Users should consider subscribing to the User Support and the Announcements mailing lists. The Developer list is for people interested in helping with the development and debugging of the server.

Formatted archives are available in several places including the Apache Mail Archives, MARC, Nabble, and MarkMail. You can also use the mail-to-news gateway offered by GMANE to access most of the lists with a news reader.

• User support and discussion
• Low volume announcements including all releases and security vulnerabilities
• Development mailing list, including commit messages

The list listed here is the only place that configuration and how-to questions belong, ever. Every day, users become frustrated, not with Apache Tomcat, but how nobody will help them understand how to get started. 95% of the time, it's not for lack of helpers, but for lack of effort and well stated questions.

Before you go further, please read Eric S. Raymond and Rick Moen's explanation of "How To Ask Questions The Smart Way". If you follow their advice, you will discover that these forums have dozens of helpers ready to provide you with guidance on using Apache Tomcat! Note: Do not send your Apache Tomcat questions to Eric or Rick themselves!

The dev@tomcat.apache.org mailing list is used for discussions about the actual development of the server. It is not the place to ask about problems writing JSPs, servlets or web applications.

Configuration and support questions should be addressed to the user mailing list. This development list is only for discussion of changes to the Apache Tomcat source code and related issues. Other questions will be ignored.
