See what happens when your out of the loop for 3 months. The latest beta version of Tomcat (4.1.9) has a slick new Struts 1.0 based administration tool. After playing with the WebLogic server console I wondered how long until Tomcat had something similar. It didn’t take as long as one might have though and I think it’s actually nicer than the WebLogic one, I hate applets. It’s not yet as full featured but that’s only a matter of time now that they have something to work from. I guess they also updated the manager web application that ships with Tomcat. It now has an API that facilitates integration with external development tools like JBuilder. I’m now effectively 3 months behind the curve, time to play catchup.
