Hi *; I was rude enough to post a quick reply there, hope it'll be of some help nevertheless...

For what I see, most of these questions basically come down not to JSPWiki related stuff but rather to fundamental issues of administering a given servlet container (tomcat, glassfish v3, whatever). That's where I see the problem of having these packages available to "simply" be installed using apt-get in Ubuntu is tempting also to those not at all knowing how to, say, deploy a Java EE .war module... > After installation I've just used the Tomcat Manager to start and > stop the web app. > I don't know how to build a .deb file though, sorry. Personally, seeing too many "badness" arising from distribution specific packaging of Java and related technologies, so far I have come to a conclusion of not to use any of these off .debs anyhow but rather use the "plain" versions in all these cases (not mentioning the understanding that packaging a Java application which is per se platform-agnostic in a pretty much platform dependent format such as .deb seems sort of funny). Maybe however a "batteries included" version of JSPWiki to come with embedded tomcat/jetty would help much here... Cheers, Kristian
