I just did a clean/reinstall as you suggested (using the default configuration),
and now the pluto portal driver service seems to start OK. I did have to remove
a couple of old directories (pluto, testsuite, IIRC) in the Tomcat webapps
directory to get this much to work.
But I almost immediately run into a new problem: as soon as I browse to the
portal (http://localhost:8080/pluto/portal/), the system asks me to log in --
this wasn't required previously, and I don't really want to deal with this in my
test environment. I'm guessing it requires a legitimate Tomcat user: In tried
a random credential and was immediately told it was invalid, so I tried the
Tomcat admin user details and was rewarded with a 403 access denied page.
Also, about this time, I tried the back button and/or fiddling with the URI and
got a null pointer error displayed in my browser. I forget exactly what I did,
and the system seems to be keeping some login state so I can't reproduce the
problem, but I do attach the Tomcat stdout/stderr logs covering that event; the
error reported in the log is not exactly the same as that on the browser
display, but that may be because the browser display was truncated.
I had made a couple of minor changes to the Pluto source code to generate some
additional diagnostic information: I'll try reverting those to see if it makes
any difference ... no difference at all, and now I have the exact sequence used:
1. Start Tomcat
2. Browse to http://localhost:8080/pluto/portal/
3. Give bad credentials
4. Give Tomcat admin credentials (per $CATALINA_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.xml)
5. Pluto displays access denited
6. Press browser back button -- previously entered admin credentials are
displayed
7. Click "Login" button to (re)enter same credentials
8. Pluto displays null pointer error:
[[

...
I just noticed that the system is updating my system disk root directory ...
it's creating a directory C:\.pluto on my Windows system, which is, er, a little
rude of it ;). It's pick an inappropriate directory here -- is there a config
option to force an override? Better still, is there a (tested) config to just
read details from a file, or even just include the required details in the
config file itself?
This is illustrative of the complications I wanted to avoid.
...
Other minutiae:
(a) The login screen is displaying the password entered as clear text.
(b) I'm seeing a couple of warnings from the 'mvn install' like this:
[[

There's a similar one referring to junit in another module.
I'm assuming this isn't indicative of any problem.
...
I shall be out of circulation (except for occasional email) for the next couple
of weeks, and then I really need to move on to other parts of this project, so I
don't know when I'll be fully engaged again with this strand of activity.
