Re: installing xindice.war in TOMCAT 5.0 for JWSDP

Hi Inaki,

you better unpack the xindice.war and deploy the unpacked
app to Tomcat. I am not sure whether it will run at all if you
deploy the war file, since the xindice db files are stored in the
file system. The location of these db files is by default in the
xindice webapp folder, so this place just does not exist if you
work with the packed war file. The error message you show
indicates this problem as well.

So, shutdown Tomcat, mkdir xindice in the webapps folder,
copy xindice.war to your newly created webapps/xindice
folder, do jar xf xindice.war there and then start Tomcat again.
