Tomcat survival kit (Tomcat6)

Servlet container, no EJB support

/conf
Ubuntu: /var/lib/tomcat6/conf
W7: C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0
/usr/share/tomcat/bin/catalina.sh

To see access log on your Tomcat, add the following to your conf/server.xml :

&lt Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve" directory="logs" prefix="localhost_access_log." suffix=".txt" pattern="common"/ &gt

to administer the modules
http://localhost:8080/manager/html
default user: "admin / no pw"
Otherwise, you can add
&lt user name="username" password="secret" roles="standard,manager" / &gt
in /Tomcat 6.0/conf/tomcat-users.xml

default location for war files
/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps
then you do: http://192.168.0.12:8082/sample/

for security reasons, slashes cannot be url encoded, like:
http://127.0.0.1:8080/getimagelist/http%3A%2F%2F
( %3A works but not %2F). See property
org.apache.tomcat.util.buf.UDecoder.ALLOW_ENCODED_SLASH: true|false

for memory setting like

JAVA_OPTS="-Djava.awt.headless=true -server -XX:NewSize=256m -XX:MaxNewSize=256m -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -XX:+DisableExplicitGC"

to make sure you don't use openJDK
edit /etc/init.d/tomcat6 and look for JDK_DIRS

if JAVA_HOME is not found when doing sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat start, do:
sudo -E /etc/init.d/tomcat start

other things:
./usr/share/tomcat6/bin/catalina.sh
/var/lib/tomcat6/conf/logging.properties
