Hi all: Would like to share my experience on deploying stanbol war file to tomcat7 on ubuntu 14.04
After the full build by following instruction upon http://stanbol.apache.org/docs/trunk/tutorial.html I got the stanbol.war file deployed on tomcat7 but it kept reporting error for resource not available as Apache Sling is starting. I checked the access log and found stanbol (actually sling) failed in creating a folder under tomcat folder instead of tomcat webapps folder. An easy hack way is to create a folder named "stanbol" with tomcat7 user/group access under your $CATALINA_BASE folder and restart tomcat7. Then everything is fine except the the link "system/console" would be broken by default setting. The broken link reporting permission error. To solve this, need to edit two parts. 1. add permission into your tomcat policy configuration which is under /etc/tomcat7/policy.d folder. You can choose one to edit since later on they all compile to be one file as $CATALINA_BASE/work/catalina.policy (/var/lib/tomcat7/work/catalina.policy) The hack way is to grant permission with careless. grant { permission java.security.AllPermission; }; I tried to make it more robust by adding permission only for stanbol codebase however I failed to make it work. If anyone knows how to do , let me know. After that , need to change the tomcat init script in /etc/init.d/tomcat Line 98 to yes. TOMCAT7_SECURITY=yes After all these, every component would work but we need to alter the tomcat application memory size. vi /etc/default/tomcat7 change the JAVA_OPTS line. JAVA_OPTS="-Djava.awt.headless=true -Xmx1g -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC" Then restart tomcat7. Hope this would help people. Thanks. -Luyi.
