There are two problems running tomcat on OpenVMS: 1) To run the bundled tomcat server on OpenVMS, a special launcher for tomcat and some OpenVMS- specific patches for tomcatint module are needed. 2) '$' is frequently used in OpenVMS file specifications, so it needs to be escaped before being used in xml. We are working on patches and will submit them ASAP. /Isao,Meg
OpenVMS is not the target platform.
"not the target platform" - What do you mean by that? We're willing to provide the necessary patches. meg
I'm not saying we'll not fix this - the issue is still open. But, on the other hand, it's not a high priority issue and certainly not a blocker for the final release. Actually, you'll have to provide the patch to have this fixed as we are not able to test on OpenVMS.
Adding the NO40 keyword - not part of quality criteria for NetBeans 4.0.
Yes, we plan to attach patches for this today.
We need a little advice. We have a couple of methods which do VMS file specification translation from Unix to VMS syntax. We initially put the method in the StartTomcat class. But the methods could also be placed in org.openide.filesystems.FileUtil, but at this time, StartTomcat class is the only customer of the methods. Where would you prefer we put them? Thanks for your advice /Isao
Depends on the methods, but StartTomcat sounds better.
Created attachment 17815 [details] Patch file for TomcatManager.java
Here are 3 patch files and 2 (new) additional files. The additional files (catalina.com and tomcat$setup_java.com) are to be placed in <netbeans installation dir>/nb4.0/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28/bin. These 2 new files are necessary to launch tomcat on OpenVMS. Thanks for your patience! /Isao,Meg

I think it would be best to add OpenVMS support directly to Tomcat first, it would be a pity not to do it, when you already made an effort to create the startup scripts. Tomcat would be also a better place to maintain those scripts. We can then submit your patches. Can you please file an issue for it in the Tomcat's bugzilla and paste its link in the URL field? Thank you
Thanks, that's a good suggestion. We have contributed our command procedures (catalina.com and tomcat_setup_Java.com) to the Tomcat project. Here's the Tomcat issue link: http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31499 Meg
After a protracted set of emails, our contribution for the OpenVMS launcher for catalina was basically rejected by the Tomcat folks. The OS/2 launcher was also rejected. Can we add it here somehow?
Setting TM to 4.1.
TM -> 5.0
TM 5.0->TBD
Making this p4, since openvms is not supported platform and we have already added support for starting tomcat with the custom catalina start-up scripts.
I'm closing this as it is no longer an issue. (since we don't support NetBeans running *on* OpenVMS)
