I've been using jdk-1.4 on a production server for several months and
haven't noticed any problems. I'm running Tomcat 4.1.24 and Apache with
mod_jk and everything works.

I never got the FreeBSD Tomcat port to work, but am using a Tomcat I
compiled under Linux with Sun's jdk-1.4 and was pleasantly surprised to
find that it Just Works.

The syllabus and poetry pages are JSP, and there are a number of other
servlets (used to administer online exams) that work fine under the
FreeBSD jdk-1.4.1
