Tomcat 7.x implements the Servlet 3.0 API, this is why bug bug bug 348587 needs to be resolved before this bug can be closed.

Comment 2 Rüdiger Herrmann 2011-06-11 09:56:05 EDT

The cluster tests now also run against Tomcat. To compile and run the cluster tests, some extra requirements are necessary:
* the patch from bug bug 348587 needs to be applied
* the servlet 3.0 API from "orbit":http://download.eclipse.org/tools/orbit/downloads/drops/R20110523182458 needs to be present in the target platform
* a "tomcat bundle". For now, I took the sources from "CQ 5094":https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5094, put them into a plug-in project and removed the javax.servlet.* package.

The remaining problem with tests against Tomcat is how to provide the org.apache.tomcat.* packages.
In Gemini/Web project offers Tomcat bundles as part of their release. An attempt to use these bundles revealed the following:
The packages necessary for cluster support are contained in a fragment (com.springsource.org.apache.catalina.ha). Apparently, fragments that reside in the target platform cannot be resolved.
For now, we will piggyback on "CQ 5094":https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5094 and maintain our own copy of Tomcat.

org.apahce.tomcat can now be found in CVS: /cvsroot/rt/org.eclipse.rap/runtime.rwt.test
The cluster tests run now against Jetty *and* Tomcat.
