hello every one:
I am reading the following tutorial:

http://people.apache.org/~taylor/tutorial/docs/site/02/page- decoration.html

I mentioned this before on the list: the tutorial there only goes as far as chapter 01
That is as far as I got in converting the tutorial from Maven-2.

Followed every single step and things are fine (thank you for the documentation). Now, I am reading through section 2 (02. Customizing Your Portal Design) I don't think that I understand what's going on. In the tutorial there should be four downloads http:// people.apache.org/~taylor/tutorial/docs/site/references/ tutorial_distribution.html: I have tried the first section of the tutorial as described, and then I diverged a bit and deleted the project "express-demo" and pointed the variable app.server.home to /opt/tomcat, which where I have tomcat installed for my development. Now I am getting the same results. So why do I need the express -demo ?

express-demo is a sample portlet application, jetexpress is the sample jetspeed portal

How do I avoid including tomcat in the installer ?

We don't have an installer available that does not include Tomcat inside It trivial (and not worth discussing here) to write an Ant script that can take an installed version and overlay or package it for another server such as another version of Tomcat
What files do I need to package in the war file. Is there a reference or how to?

Try just taking the war file that is created and sticking it in your Tomcat webapps directory.
If you need to add any jars to Tomcat, you will find out PDQ.


cp $INSTALLED_TOMCAT/shared/lib/* $MANSOUR_TOMCAT/shared/lib
cp -R $INSTALLED_TOMCAT/webapps/jetspeed/* $MANSOUR_TOMCAT/webapps/ jetspeed/ cp -R $INSTALLED_TOMCAT/webapps/j2-admin/* $MANSOUR_TOMCAT/webapps/j2- admin/
(continue for whatever webapps you need)
cp $INSTALLED_TOMCAT/conf/Catalina/localhost/jetspeed.xml $MANSOUR_TOMCAT/conf/Catalina/localhost/jetspeed.xml

This still leaves you with the task of creating the tables and populating the database If you look in $INSTALLED_TOMCAT/database, there is an ant script (run the default target, "setupDB") that will do that for you interactively
