Until this is fixed, Tomcat will crash at startup - with this message in the system log: - - jsvc.exec[2648]: Service killed by signal 6 - - You can either install a non-free JDK such as sun-java6-jdk, or - disable the security manager (see TOMCAT_SECURITY in - /etc/default/tomcat5.5). Do not run without a security manager unless - you understand the consequences. - -- The home directory (CATALINA_HOME) for Tomcat 5.5 (a.k.a. Catalina) is - /usr/share/tomcat5.5, the base directory (CATALINA_BASE) is - /var/lib/tomcat5.5 but some files in there are just symlinks to the - proper FHS directories. - - There's a .debian directory in /usr/share/tomcat5.5 which contains templates - for configuration files. These are copied to the conf direcory during - the package installation when the corresponding destination does not yet - exist. - -- The package has been built as "light" distribution which means that some - of the additional features like JavaMail, JTA and Tyrex are not enabled. - Catalina was compiled using MX4J so JMX is available for an embedded - servlet engine. - -- The main configuration file is /etc/tomcat5.5/server.xml. - The default setup enables the built-in HTTP web server on port 8180 and - a Coyote/JK AJP 1.3 connector for Apache on port 8009. The standard port - 8080 for the web server was not used so the package does not conflict with - junkbuster. Tomcat also listens on port 8005 (localhost only) for a - shutdown command. - -- Tomcat 5.5 needs a full Java Development Kit (JDK), a Java Runtime - Environment (JRE) is not sufficient because javac is needed for translating - JavaServer Pages (JSP) into Java classes. - -- You can test if Tomcat is working properly by pointing your favourite web - browser to http://localhost:8180/ and testing some of the Servlet and JSP - examples. This requires installation of the tomcat5.5-webapps package. - -- You can install your own web applications as .war files or in extracted form - into a subdirectory of /var/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps. The name of the WAR file - or subdirectory is the servlet context for this webapp. - -- Multiple Tomcat instances can be started by different users when - $CATALINA_BASE is set to a local directory that contains the subdirectories - conf, logs, webapps, work and temp. See RUNNING.txt for more about this. - -- When Tomcat runs with a security manager, you can define the permissions - for your servlets and JSPs in /etc/tomcat5.5/policy.d/. For - example, you can put your customizations in 50user.policy in this - directory. - -- There is a webapp for basic web-based administration of Tomcat's webapps - in the tomcat5.5-admin package. You need to add one of the users in - /etc/tomcat5.5/tomcat-users.xml to the manager role and probably - set a better password. The "Web Application Manager" can then be accessed - at http://localhost:8180/manager/html. There's also a more sophisticated - administration webapp called "admin" in the same package but it can't make - permanent changes to the configuration since the tomcat5.5 user does not have - permission to do this in the default configuration. - -- Tomcat 5 does not follow symlinks by default. You can change this by adding - this section to your webapp's context definition: - - <!-- make symlinks work in Tomcat 5.5 --> - <Resources className="org.apache.naming.resources.FileDirContext" - allowLinking="true" /> - - See /etc/tomcat5.5/server.xml for examples. - -- For more information about Jakarta-Tomcat please take a look at the Tomcat - home page at <http://tomcat.apache.org/index.html>. - -- This package is heavily based on the great work of Stephan Gybas on - the tomcat4 package. - - -- Marcus Better <mar...@better.se>, Fri, 27 Apr 2007 07:39:01 +0200 _______________________________________________ pkg-java-commits mailing list pkg-java-comm...@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-java-commits
