Ok, through trial and error while following the instructions for "Building from src", I figured out that you need to run the "mvn install tomcat:run-war" from the oodt-src/pcs/opsui directory. This ends up starting tomcat so you can then go to https://localhost:8080/pcs-opsui to bring it up the web page. But, I discovered a couple of things while doing this.
You'll have to be patient with me here, I am not at all familiar with tomcat, webapps, or any of the configuration files it is going to be looking for at runtime. When I built OODT, I put the source in a "oodt-src" directory, and I deployed oodt in a "oodt" directory. I ran the opsui from the "oodt-src" directory tree, but it was looking for files in the deployed directory tree. I don't want to run anything out of my source directory, I only want to run things out of my deployed directory. So, how do I actually 'deploy' the opsui so that I can run it from my deployed directory tree? There is no tar.gz file in the opsui/target directory that I can just unpack into the deployed directory. So what should I do? I also discovered that there seems to be a lot of webapps that I knew nothing about. I discovered the web-grid webapp by accident when I ran "mvn install tomcat:run-war" from the top-level oodt-src directory and grid was the first directory it came to where it found a war file to run. And it used port 8080. So I went to http://localhost:8080/web-grid to see what it was. And it did not tell me anything about what it actually is. So, how do I find out what all the web apps are and what they do? Are they all already part of the opsui? Or, are they all separate apps like web-grid seemed to be? Val Valerie A.
