Hi HRH, Below are two things I had to do to get Tomcat to be usable for me, though this is in Netbeans 11.1 so the process may have changed.
In order to get Tomcat to be stoppable and restartable by Netbeans, I needed to set the shutdown port in Netbeans (right-click on Tomcat in the 'Services' tab, click Properties, and the shutdown port is one of those properties) and in Tomcat's server.xml (I was able to right-click on Tomcat in the 'Services' tab and change the server.xml, I found the file in "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 9.0\conf" if you need it). I also needed to set up a user for Tomcat with the manager-script permission in tomcat-users.xml (for me that's in "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 9.0\conf" like server.xml), and then set that user and password in the properties for Tomcat in Netbeans. Hopefully that helps, Connor On Sat, Oct 24, 2020 at 8:55 AM HRH <hrh...@yahoo.com.invalid> wrote: > There are a few issues that I am experiencing in regards to controlling > the Tomcat server from within the IDE: > 1- The Tomcat Server Log from Services->Servers->Apache Tomcat or > TomEE->View Server Logs doesn't show any content from the log file in the > output window. > 2- The option to start the Tomcat server in debug mode is disabled and > there is no way I can activate this option. > 3- When I try to debug a servlet in the IDE, the debug session hangs > because it is waiting for the Tomcat server, which is already up and > running. > > I have removed and re-installed the Tomcat server a few times hoping for > better luck but these issues seem persistent.
