Tomcat allows you to create multiple server instances for the same installation. The installation directory is identified as CATALINA_HOME , the instance directory is identified as CATALINA_BASE . Here are the steps: Create a base directory for the new instance, for example: /home/nogeek/tomcat1 . Create the subdirectories: mkdir -p /home/nogeek/tomcat/{bin,conf,logs,temp,w...

When you start Tomcat for the first time, you may get the "port 8080 is already in use" error. Indeed, port 8080 is commonly used by a lot of development servers by default (Oracle XE for another example). Luckily, it's quite easy to ask Tomcat to use a different port. I use port 8086, which is a natural next step and superior to 8080. Simply edit $CATALINA_BASE/conf/server.xml and change 8080 to 8086: <!-- A "Connector" represents an endpoint by w... If you have not configured Tomcat 6 for multiple instances by setting a CATALINA_BASE directory, then $CATALINA_BASE will be set to the value of $CATALINA_HOME , the directory into which you have installed Tomcat 6.

This procedure works for Oracle application server 10.1.3.1, SOA suite. But should be applicable for standalone OC4J or JDeveloper installations with minor modifications. $ORACLE_HOME is the home directory for Oracle app server. $JDEV_HOME is the home directory for JDeveloper. 1. Change directory to $ORACLE_HOME/j2ee , mkdir lib 2. Copy xmlparserv2.jar from $JDEV_HOME to $ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/lib . 3. Copy ocj.jar and jdev_remote.jar from $JDEV_HOME/jdev/lib to $ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/home/lib . 4. Edit global-web-application.xml under your OC4J instance's config directory. Change the development attribute to true . <orion-web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/... 5. Add the following to the servlet section of global-web-application.xml : <servlet> <servlet-name>jsp</servlet-na... 6.

In Eclipse, open to port 4000 for remote debugging.
