Set up a Tomcat server

This is what I needed to get a working Tomcat server:

• go to preferences, then choose Server > Installed Runtimes
• install a Tomcat 5.5 runtime (or of your choice, but these instructions follow that for Tomcat 5.5), specifying the installation directory
• go to the Servers view (it may need to be opened from Window > Show view)
• right click and select New > Server
• Select the Tomcat server and press Finish
• right click the server and select Properties
• click the Switch Location button so that it says /Servers/Tomcat v5.5 Server at localhost-config and press Ok
• double click the server to bring up the properties pane
• change the Deploy path to a convenient location (such as /path/to/workspace/Servers/Tomcat v5.5 Server at localhost-config/webapps). Save the file.
• click "Open launch configuration"
• under the Classpath tab, select User Entries, and click Add External JARs...
• add the mail-1.4.jar and derby-10.1.3.1.jar from your file system (perhaps a local repository)
• right click archiva-webapp and select Maven 2 > Package artifact (you need to do this step to generate the Plexus resources and to populate WEB-INF/lib due to a bug. If the web application fails to start, check these two things)
• right click archiva-webapp and select Properties
• Select Web Project Settings and change the Context Root to archiva then press Ok
• Edit server.xml in the Servers project that was created in your workspace and add this inside the existing Context for archiva:

  Code Block
  xml xml
  <Resource name="jdbc/users" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource" username="sa" password="" driverClassName="org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver" url="jdbc:derby:/path/to/database/archiva;create=true" /> <Resource name="jdbc/archiva" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource" username="sa" password="" driverClassName="org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver" url="jdbc:derby:/path/to/database/archiva;create=true" /> <Resource name="mail/Session" auth="Container" type="javax.mail.Session" mail.smtp.host="localhost"/>

• right click archiva-webapp and select Refresh
• right click archiva-webapp and select Run as > Run on Server
