deploying axis2 on Tomcat6 permissions problem

I'm using a freshly installed Tomcat6 on Intrepid Ubuntu having done:

sudo apt-get install tomcat6
sudo apt-get install tomcat6-docs
sudo apt-get install tomcat6-examples
sudo apt-get install tomcat6-admin

I modified the Realm to use a MemoryRealm. I then used the Tomcat Web 
Application Manager to deploy axis2.war (from axis2-1.4.1-war.zip). This 
succeeded, as I get the following response:

OK - Deployed application at context path /axis2

and I can see the the axis2.war and "exploded" or unpacked directory 
axis2 under /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/ ($CATALINA_BASE/webapps). However, 
when I go to http://localhost:8080/axis2, I get one of two different 
exceptions...

If I issue
  sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat6 restart
first, then go to http://localhost:8080/axis2, I get:


 HTTP Status 500 -

Seems like some sort of permissions problem, but for the 2nd exception, 
from what I can see web-app_2_3.dtd should be readable:

$ jar tf /var/lib/tomcat6/lib/servlet-api.jar  | grep web-app_2.3
javax/servlet/resources/web-app_2_3.dtd
$ ls -la /var/lib/tomcat6/lib/servlet-api.jar
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 2009-01-12 22:22 
/var/lib/tomcat6/lib/servlet-api.jar -> 
/usr/share/tomcat6/lib/servlet-api.jar
$ ls -la /usr/share/tomcat6/lib/servlet-api.jar lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 
30 2009-01-12 22:22 /usr/share/tomcat6/lib/servlet-api.jar ->

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 84445 2008-10-24 09:14 
/usr/share/tomcat6/lib/../../java/servlet-api-2.5.jar

Any suggestions to the problem? BTW, I successfully deployed and ran the 
'sample' webapp that comes with Tomcat using the same deployment 
approach, so I think Tomcat is up and running fine.

Re: deploying axis2 on Tomcat6 permissions problem

Posted by William Fulton <wi...@fultondesigns.co.uk>.
Problem resolved once I'd turned off the Tomcat security with:
TOMCAT6_SECURITY=no
in /etc/default/tomcat6 and possibly also write permissions needed for 
/etc/tomcat as outlined in 
https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/tomcat.html.

The Tomcat security manager documentation (installed by default at 
http://localhost:8080/docs/security-manager-howto.html) talks about 
setting up the catalina.policy file and says "Debugging the permission 
that is missing can be challenging". That's exactly how I found it! I 
had a go using info from here:

http://markmail.org/search/?q=axis2+AccessControlException#query:axis2%20AccessControlException+page:1+mid:q7lasiqni2jsbhte+state:results
and http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-227286.html but gave up 
in the end and it looks like I'll have to use TOMCAT6_SECURITY=no instead.

Would be useful to have some documentation from the Axis2 folk as to 
what the security manager settings need to be and add into a Tomcat 
section in "Application Server Specific Configuration Guide" in the 
Axis2 docs,  as spending an age just getting axis2 working seems plain 
wrong.

Re: deploying axis2 on Tomcat6 permissions problem

Posted by William Fulton <wi...@fultondesigns.co.uk>.
Just for clarification, Tomcat reports:
|CATALINA_HOME|: |/usr/share/tomcat6|
|CATALINA_BASE|: |/var/lib/tomcat6|

and I can see the axis2 jsp files in:

/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/axis2/axis2-web/*.jsp
