Does anybody understand this or do I go and install the distribution from tomcat. I just have a deadline and I don't know how I will even get close because of this upgrade :-(.
I would suggest you to take tomcat distribution from official site and not to use opensuse package - you will just unpack it somewhere to your home directory and it would just start working by running the start up script. I have recently tries to setup development environment with eclipse and tomcat and was unpleasantly surprised the way it was packaged here. First of all it was divided to a number of packages (tomcat and tomcal-libs or something like that - I might be wrong in details), but that were not the worst - the worst thing were that some libraries were renamed and there were a number of symbolic links to jar files, which still did not match the original tomcat libraries names. I was trying to use eclipse tomcat plugin which accepts tomcat home directory as config parameter and it expects to find some particular libraries with particular names there. This did not happen when I tried to give it the path to the opensuse tomcat package installation directory. And it started working immediately when I have pointed it to the unpacked tomcat, taken from official apache download site. Probably I have missed something with this package, but I have spent few hours with it with no suitable result. So if you have a deadline, I suggest you just to take fresh tomcat from apache site, though installing it from yast looks much nicer. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
