Tomcat 6 and Pluto 1.1.4

The JSF Portlet Bridge for JSF 1.2 and Portlet 1.0 should run with the existing Pluto implementation provided you meet the pre-requisites for JSF 1.2. In order for this to work, Pluto needs to be installed on Tomcat 6. Below is some documentation on how to do this.

Prerequisites

These items must be installed and working on your system before you get started:

• J2SE JDK 1.5 or later
• Maven 2
• Subversion

Setup

1. Modify your ~/.m2/settings.xml to add the following plugin group:

    <settings>
      ...
      <pluginGroups>
        <pluginGroup>org.apache.pluto</pluginGroup>
      </pluginGroups>
      ...
    </settings>

2. Download Tomcat 6.0.16 or greater (http://tomcat.apache.org/download-60.cgi#6.0.16). Extract it into a directory.

3. Make sure the  <Connector>  element in Tomcat's conf/server.xml file has the attribute  emptySessionPath="true"  set. If more then one connection is identified, this will be the "HTTP/1.1" connector.

4. Add some users to Tomcat's conf/tomcat-users.xml file. My understanding is that Pluto installer is supposed to do this for you, but it didn't in my case. The default users file has comments around the default users so be sure to remove them. Here is a good example:

    <tomcat-users>
      <role rolename="manager"/>
      <role rolename="pluto"/>
      <role rolename="tomcat"/>
      <role rolename="role1"/>
      <user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,pluto,manager"/>
      <user username="role1" password="tomcat" roles="role1"/>
      <user username="both" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,role1"/>
      <user username="pluto" password="pluto" roles="pluto,manager"/>
    </tomcat-users>

5. Create a directory for your Pluto 1.4.4 source tree and cd into it from a command line.

6. Type:  svn checkout https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/portals/pluto/tags/pluto-1.1.4 

7. Type:  mvn pluto:install -DinstallDir="<TOMCAT_DIR>"  Note: in Windows you may need to append the Drive Letter as well as the path

8. In Tomcat's bin directory, execute  startup.sh  (linux) or  startup.bat  (windows)

9. Browse to  http://localhost:8080/pluto/portal 

10. Login as user pluto (password=pluto) or tomcat (password=tomcat) if you are using the tomcat-users.xml above or else whatever user you have set up to be in the pluto and manager role.

TODO: I'm waiting for a demo app to be created so that I can tell how to deploy the demo application in this environment.
