Summary:
The documentation provides both Linux and Windows instructions for configuring server-level data sources in Tomcat, but the Windows section is more detailed and prescriptive, with step-by-step PowerShell scripts and explicit use of Windows-specific tools and paths. The Windows approach is described with more automation (PowerShell, .cmd files), while the Linux approach is more manual (shell scripts, apk, xsltproc). Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, .cmd) are featured prominently, and the Windows section appears before the Linux section in some places. However, both platforms are covered and Linux examples are present.
Recommendations:
- Balance the level of detail: Expand the Linux section to provide equally detailed, step-by-step instructions, including example shell scripts that automate the process as thoroughly as the Windows PowerShell example.
- Parity in automation: Provide a ready-to-use Bash script for Linux that mirrors the automation provided by the Windows PowerShell script, including checks for idempotency and error handling.
- Tool parity: Where possible, suggest cross-platform tools or provide equivalent Linux-native commands/scripts for every Windows-specific tool or pattern (e.g., use Bash scripts instead of only PowerShell).
- Order of presentation: Consider presenting Linux and Windows instructions in parallel or in the same order throughout the documentation to avoid the perception of Windows-first bias.
- Clarify platform differences: Explicitly call out any differences in capabilities or limitations between Linux and Windows, and provide workarounds or alternatives for Linux where needed.
