What I did to run GateIn-3.0.0-Beta02 tomcat with jsvc

[caddr]

Well, this is what I did to get gatein b2 to work with the jsvc service


First I really do not like relative pathnames. All of the "../temp/" in the configuration files is just a bogus hack. I hope that they will get cleaned up.


I installed the GateIn-3.0.0-Beta02 under /opt and made a sym link to /opt/tomcat

Had to make a sym link /opt/tomcat/temp to /opt/temp (see rant above)

created a tomcat user.
chowned the /opt/GateIn-3.0.0-Beta02 to tomcat
compiled the /opt/tomcat/bin/jsvc.tar.gz source and installed it in /usr/local/bin

Then used this init.d script to start / stop tomcat.

__BEGIN__

Yes the temp location isn't great :)
The good thing is that for the moment it solves the issue that the tmp space is different from JBoss AS, Tomcat and all other application server. Agreed that it has to change.

Your post is good info, it would better belong to our wiki. I just created a landing page, do you want to create a page about this referenced from the landing page or do you want me to ?

[caddr]

I could. What is the landing URL? Do you want me to expand, or fill in the steps (building jsvc, etc)?

Forgot the link:
http://www.jboss.org/community/wiki/GateIn

Just put the info you think are needed for GateIn, the steps you mentionned in this forum seem like a good start, I don't think you need to go as low as how to build jsvc but adding a link to the jsvc project page might help.
Also a line to explain what it does for people who don't know JSVC

Thanks a lot !

Ok, I've added content. Hope it is OK.
