I've used JServ successfully with FreeBSD, and I've even made a few notes for myself on how to do it, which I include below. There is a mistake in these notes (just to keep you on your toes), as I forgot to include a step, but it's pretty obvious what it is when you get to it (and I've forgotten what it is, so I can't put it back in. If anyone tries this, can they mail me so I can update my notes?) Anyway, I've not taken JServ much beyond this, so I can't comment on how it copes with more complex servlets, but it certainly seems to do its basic job. My notes are as follows: Add GNU make package (or port) Install JDK 1.1.5 in /usr/local/jdk1.1.5 (Add /usr/local/jdk1.1.5/bin to $PATH for all relevant users (root+me)) Install jserv sources into /usr/local/src/jserv Install Apache port into /usr/ports/www/apache cd /usr/ports/www/apache make patch cd work/apache_1.2.4/src cp /usr/local/src/jserv/jserv0.9.10/mod_jserv.c . chmod 644 mod_jserv.c add the following to file "Configuration" (as first module): Module jserv_module mod_jserv.o make install edit /usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf and add: ---- SNIP ---- ServerName "whatever@wherever" # JSERV Settings # # ServletBinary: location of the java interpreter ServletBinary /usr/local/jdk1.1.5/bin/java # ServletBinaryArgument: arguments for the java interpreter. # Example sets start and maximum heap sizes. #ServletBinaryArgument -ms8m -mx16m # ServletClassPath: locations where classes required by the servlets # reside.
