Actually nowadays it is easy to use java and tomcat on
freebsd.

First one has to install a JDK. I myself prefer
diablo-jdk. Go to
/usr/ports/java/diablo-jdk15, type

make install

and follow the instructions. Due to java licenses you
have to manually
fetch some files from internet and put them in
/usr/ports/distfiles.

If you are required to use sun jdk, you can install it
from
java/jdk15. Note that it will need an existing jdk to
bootstrap. By
default it uses linux-sun-jdk and I had problems with
it in the past.
In this case I used diablo-jdk and sun jdk15 installed
correctly. From
my experinece, however, I can tell that tomcat runs
fine with
diablo-jdk.

Next go to /usr/ports/www/tomcat55/ and install it and
you have java and
tomcat.

Oh yes, we loves FreeBSD, don't we, my precious?

Thank you for the replies. I installed linux-sun-jdk,
tomcat and mod_jk
(tomcat apache connector) from ports. It seesm to
work, but I have not have
it tested in the production environment by the
developers.

Would you mind explaining the difference between
sun-jdk and diablo jdk?


Kind regards,

Yance
