Hi everyone,
as you can read from subject I got stuck while trying to deploy Web-CAT on
my Ubuntu 12.10 + Tomcat7.

Before I start talking about the problem, let's say that my environment is
based on Eclipse + WebObjects 543 + Project Wonder Frameworks.

Web-CAT sources are a bunch of Eclipse projects: there's no instruction on
how to build them, so after searching a little, I found an Ant build.xml
file into Web-CAT project. Easy, I thought.

I was wrong, but after some tries I was able to build a war deployable file.

When I put this into my tomcat's webroot I had a problem on deployment that
is well described here [1]. I think I solved this modifying web.xml file
according to this article [2].

Now Tomcat can deploy my war, but when trying to access default first page
of the application (Login Page) I encounter a 404 Tomcat's standard HTTP
error page.

It seems that "entry point" (sorry for non-technical terms) is missing.

What do you think about it?

Thanks for answering.

Greetings.
