Description Isao Yanagimachi 2004-09-22 15:16:28 UTC
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.

OpenVMS is not the target platform.
Comment 2 mgarrison 2004-09-22 15:55:16 UTC
"not the target platform" - What do you mean by that?  We're willing 
to provide the necessary patches.

Comment 3 Martin Grebac 2004-09-22 16:31:16 UTC
 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.
Comment 4 Petr Jiricka 2004-09-22 16:40:23 UTC
Adding the NO40 keyword - not part of quality criteria for NetBeans 4.0.
Comment 5 mgarrison 2004-09-22 16:42:31 UTC
Yes, we plan to attach patches for this today.
Comment 6 Isao Yanagimachi 2004-09-22 18:24:33 UTC
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

Comment 7 Martin Grebac 2004-09-22 19:27:39 UTC
Depends on the methods, but StartTomcat sounds better.

Comment 9 Isao Yanagimachi 2004-09-22 21:56:45 UTC
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!

Comment 14 Sherold Dev 2004-09-24 16:49:26 UTC
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
Comment 15 mgarrison 2004-10-01 12:50:23 UTC
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:

Comment 16 mgarrison 2004-11-01 14:27:11 UTC
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?
Comment 17 Sherold Dev 2005-03-18 13:11:49 UTC
Setting TM to 4.1. 
Comment 18 Sherold Dev 2005-10-18 17:14:30 UTC
TM -> 5.0
Comment 19 Jaroslav Pospisil 2006-03-13 13:46:41 UTC
TM 5.0->TBD
Comment 20 Sherold Dev 2006-06-13 12:59:17 UTC
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.
Comment 21 mgarrison 2007-08-30 18:54:42 UTC
I'm closing this as it is no longer an issue.  (since we don't support NetBeans running *on* OpenVMS)
