Re: 1 question: HOW???

Yes, you are correct.  The docs need some work.

However, it is very simple to get Barracuda examples up and running under 
Tomcat.  Here is what I'd recommend....

1.  Grab the latest CVS source (I foresee a release coming in the near future)

2.  make sure to create a user in Tomcat's tomcat-users.xml that has access 
to the manager app and make sure Tomcat is restarted so that it picks up 
this user.

3.  Either copy sample.build.properties in Barracuda/src to 
build.properties and change manager.username and manager.password to the 
user having access to the manager app OR create a ".build.properties" 
(notice the prefixed period) file in $user.home (on my Win2k system this 
is.... "C:\Documents and Settings\jkjome" ) and add manager info to that 
file.  The $user.home ".build.properties" file will override Barracuda's 
local buld.properties file.  You can also set things such as 
build.compiler=jikes and such.  Makes it very convenient to transparently 
override properties without having to modify the bulid's properties files.

4.  Make sure Tomcat has been started, cd to Barracuda/src do "ant 
catalina-install".  This will build and install Barracuda to Tomcat.  To 
View the examples, go to http://localhost:8080/Barracuda/ .  The examples 
are linked off the doc pages.  The only link that won't work is the 
BarracudaDiskRack link which is a separate package.  You can grab that from 
CVS to and follow the same instructions above to run that.  Then browse to 
http://localhost:8080/BarracudaDiskRack/ .

Again, I forsee new releases for both Barracuda and BarracudaDiscRack very 
soon, so you'll have a stable release to work with.  For now, using the 
latest CVS is the best thing to use, as Barracuda-1.1.1 is pretty dated at 
this point compared to the latest CVS.
