Sorry. I was quite in a hurry when I posted the bug report. I just meant to use the explicit --configure option for installing an initial webapp configuration of tomcat and missed the "net beans" part at the end. Could anyone pls update it so it can work with different netbeans slots? Atm the most current slots are 6.5 and 6.7. There is only one important change: in netbeans 6.5 j2ee cluster is netbeans_modules_j2ee but in netbeans 6.7 it is netbeans_modules_enterprise. Also, http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=156913 should be fixed now. i recently installed tomcat and netbeans on clean gentoo so noted down all the steps i needed to make netbeans work with tomcat. the list is pretty short. i can split it to two parts: tomcat part and "netbeans" part. tomcat part: # NetBeans expects conf directory in Catalina home, otherwise server cannot be added ln -s /etc/tomcat-6/ /usr/share/tomcat-6/conf # netbeans by default attempts to create tomcat user that can manage apps, so needs write access to this file chmod g+w /etc/tomcat-6/tomcat-users.xml "netbeans" part: # for running tomcat as netbeans user, it seems to be sufficient to add user to tomcat group gpasswd -a user tomcat imo the changes in tomcat could be done directly in the ebuild without need for any use flag, as adding write access for tomcat group to tomcat-user.xml does not seem dangerous to me and adding conf dir to catalina home does not seem dangerous to me too. the netbeans part should imo be just about adding info after installation that to be able to run tomcat from netbeans, user must be added to tomcat group. current versions of tomcat in tree support multiple instances and also owning of catalina base files by different user which enables easy integration of tomcat with netbeans. for more information see https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Apache_Tomcat |
