Is it possible to use Trinidad with an alternate Tomcat runtime?

[Mark Thomas]

I'm not very familiar with how Trinidad works, but would like to
investigate the possibility of using it with an alternate Tomcat
runtime, such as Springsource TC Server (which is basically
SpringSource's compile of the standard Apache Tomcat (6 or 7)). Is
this possible? I'd like to achieve a warbler-less deployment.

Hi Mark,

there is a direct way to do that. In most of the cases the tomcat version is irrelevant if it works :) It shouldn't be really hard to make it tomcat's dependency aware.

The Tomcat's required packages live in another gem called trinidad_jars, it's basically the embedded distribution packed into a gem, it's loaded here:

https://github.com/trinidad/trinidad/blob/master/lib/trinidad.rb#L6

The "gem" method accepts a second parameter where the version can be specified, if it's empty it assumes the most recent one.

If you want to build your own version of the trinidad_jars gem there is a script to build it:

https://github.com/trinidad/trinidad/blob/master/rakelib/tomcat.rake

That can be invoked with:

rake tomcat:update[VERSION_NUMBER]

It packages everything into a jar called tomcat-core, jruby loads faster one only jar than three, and then you can change the version number here:

https://github.com/trinidad/trinidad/blob/master/lib/trinidad/jars.rb#L7

and run the rake task:

rake trinidad_jars:build
