I just started working on some tomcat stuff. It hasn't been installed for persistant use yet.
Tomcat is located under /usr/apache2/tomcat.
setenv CATALINA_HOME /usr/apache2/tomcat
setenv JAVA_HOME /usr/java/default
cd $CATALINA_HOME
bin/startup.shStarts the tomcat daemon in the background
/usr/sbin/iptables -A INPUT --protocol tcp --destination-port 8080 -j ACCEPT
You'll need ant. It's installed under "/usr/src/programming/apache-ant-1.6.5". Catalina has been installed as an ant custom task, by copying catalina-ant.jar from $CATALINA_HOME/server/lib to ant's lib directory.
