More features in tomcat module

[Jacek Laskowski <jl...@apache.org>]

Hi,

Just committed the latest changes to the tomcat module that let deploy 
webapps and run them! Really, it's now possible. Just uncomment the 
sections in the just-committed files and voila - Apache Tomcat 5.5.4 
will run itself and deployed webapps.

I remember about updating http://wiki.apache.org/geronimo/Tomcat, but 
will be doing it tomorrow. Gonna sleep.

The files that require changes before running Tomcat are:

modules/assembly/project.xml
modules/assembly/src/plan/j2ee-deployer-plan.xml
modules/assembly/src/plan/j2ee-server-plan.xml

You'll have to uncomment the sections marked:

<!-- the tomcat module's requirement
    - uncomment it to run Apache Tomcat as a web container
    -
...
    -->

I keep hoping that I haven't broken the build.

Dobrej nocy,
Jacek

I'm not sure, but it should. I don't know about any features of Tomcat 
that are specific to 5.5.4 version.

Please, give it a try and report to the mailing list.

You can do it by copying Tomcat 5.0.x jars to 
$GERONIMO_HOME/repository/tomcat/jars or changing the plans - 
j2ee-deployer and j2ee-server - so that they reference 5.0.x jars and 
rebuild assembly module. I highly recommend the first approach.

I'll describe it on http://wiki.apache.org/geronimo/Tomcat. It should be 
available soon.

Hello Jacek,

I've got two remaining questions:
1. Will Geronimo deployment work with Tomcat 5.0.x?
2. As Jetty is geronimo's standard servlet container, I think it should 
be deactivated when using Tomcat - how do I achieve this?

Kind regards
