I have tried it myself and now I see the problem. We will need to discuss it with NetBeans people (I have cced Petr who might help).
Following steps are how I made NetBeans 6.5 to use OpenSolaris bundled Tomcat 5.5 (please note that the procedure won't work with OpenSolaris build 106 where Tomcat paths were changed little bit): petr at opensolaris:~$ cd petr at opensolaris:~$ mkdir tomcat petr at opensolaris:~$ cp -r /var/apache/tomcat/conf/ tomcat petr at opensolaris:~$ cp ~/tomcat/conf/server.xml-example ~/tomcat/conf/server.xml # Temporary, just for NetBeans server creation add link so it's happy. petr at opensolaris:~$ pfexec ln -s ~/tomcat/conf/ /usr/apache/tomcat/ # Now configure new server in NetbBeans 6.5 # Tools -> Servers -> Add Server -> Tomcat 5.5 # Catalina Home: /usr/apache/tomcat # Catalina Base: /export/home/petr/tomcat petr at opensolaris:~$ pfexec rm /usr/apache/tomcat/conf I believe that NetBeans shouldn't require CATALINA_HOME/conf directory when CATALINA_BASE is used...
