Anyhow, early in that writeup, it's talking about using the jsvc java package. I used a little script I wrote myself some years ago to scan all of the ports plists for any mention of "jsvc". I found the tarball that's dropped into the tomcat6 bin/ subdir, but not a port to build it, did I miss an important port? I tried to unpack it and build it, but when the jsvc's configure script realizes it's in FreeBSD-8.0 (I run current), it burped messily and died, guess it can't handle superior OS quality. If anyone has a patch to get jsvc building, or maybe a comment telling me I don't need it for some reason, I'd appreciate either. I found what's described as a very vanilla "conf/server.xml" (one of tomcat6's config files) but it seems to want some minor modifications, and the fields aren't described, only given on example.... damn, I Hate things which only give one example, but no description, if your setup isn't precisely what the author's is, I can't figure out where to go with things. All that instructions I've seen so far, they all fall in that category. If anyone happens to have a pet description of server.xml (not an example, a description of things which need localization) I'd sure appreciate that. Java package names look so much like machine names, I can't tell where I need to localize things or not, not without a description of what the fields are. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkmLTmwACgkQz62J6PPcoOm3UQCdEfUmIUvkzvdmqBZML0vOYUwr NbcAniRka/L6LIZXVuPyZdd07LNyrLNQ =sZz3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
