The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Apache 2007 Daylight Savings Time Question

Apache 2007 Daylight Savings Time Question

Product:  Apache Tomcat 4.1
Server:  Windows Server 2003:

As you may be aware, daylight savings time (DST) has been moved from the first Sunday in April to the second Sunday in March (3/11).  I am a manager at a large corporation and I am working with some of our developers to address potential issues with 2007 DST.  Our application is a vendor-purchased application that we purchased about a year ago.  They are using Apache Tomcat 4.1 which is a non-standard product for the company that I work for and there is little knowledge about what is required to ensure that we will not be affected by the 2007 DST change.

My questions are:

1.  Can someone please provide information on what is required to ensure that we are not affected by the 2007 DST change?
2.  It appears that Apache Tomcat 4.1 does not come bundled with its own JRE.  Would we simply need to upgrade the jre that is installed on the server?

For question number 2 one of my developers has mentioned that through some of his research, he has found that Apache uses the JRE that is installed on the server and this JRE communicates with the OS to get date/time information.  We think that upgrading the JRE that is installed on the server and then regression testing the application to ensure we didn't break anything might do the trick.  Since we don't really have any Apache knowledge experts here, your expert assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

kpetti
