I have a requirement to use Apache HTTPD in front of Tomcat, so that runs on ports 80/443. Tomcat is installed and run as a non-privileged user and I normally use the default ports (unless I have multiple Tomcat installations). This means that my development Tomcat (run as me and controlled by NetBeans) has to run on a different set of ports. This should be possible with Eclipse as well. Just edit server.xml. In short, don't use the Tomcat started by init (soon to be systemd) for development work. Run one from your account and control it with the IDE. This way you can restart it in debug mode, examine the logs without becoming root, and bring the server up and down with no issues. Once you are to a point in the development process where you want others to test, you can deploy the WAR file to the Tomcat started during boot time. . . . just my two cents /mde/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJUbhDBAAoJEEFGbsYNeTwtROQH+wbs532qNBwn8Kca1zqF1TVE GQvM9kmKmquPx5qMVdU0yNXLGUHMmk62X5bKvwZMEFbhf1tcXwcM52X3x5n5lMRe TijipLvsVFftEaFUNomD+VPTKhcYCMUdK9eupolaipHfkjoO9yczMQX3HsoQG273 FVenkzonldwq08Awq4U1B0MsnT8/Hp9GktFh67OjXitij7QnJTohDESNPQ+Y4Hry 2XQfLo1DKbTf4n+oDFJR7rojH+Uj/i9zDEWRij0lFwfkWM8BUzb8Sta80eGMrxNt Ii/0wlBJBTjZCFxJz9w/8EinARxiEi6L8eQpocc7mn3+r/mu+WeUvn70yKJmvnI= =FewI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
