Has any one else seen this

Everything runs well until the section
"Now we’ll enable the new echart interface".
When I issued command
"  java
-cp .:/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/oscar/WEB-INF/lib/mysql-connector-java-3.0.11-stable-bin.jar importCasemgmt /usr/local/tomcat/oscar.properties ",
I got error
" Could not open properties file:
/usr/local/tomcat/oscar.properties (No such file or directory) "
A check ("ls") on directory /usr/local/tomcat  shows that indeed file
oscar.properties is NOT there.

In order to get the oscar.properties file in the /usr/local/tomcat/ directory, you run the command (assuming you've followed my instructions)...

sudo cp $HOME/src/oscar_source/oscar_mcmaster/install/oscar*properties $CATALINA_HOME

sudo ln -s $CATALINA_HOME/oscar_mcmaster.properties $CATALINA_HOME/oscar.properties

Terry

David provided the answer, but I'll give you a more detailed explanation ;-)
David, please correct me if I err...

The actual file was put into your home folder when you downloaded and
compiled the Oscar source.
$HOME/src/oscar_source/oscar_mcmaster/install/oscar*properties (aka
oscar_mcmaster.properties)

At the same time, we use a variable to point to the location of the
Apache Tomcat server files.  Since there can be different versions of
Tomcat (We currently use 5.5, but the new version is 6.0), the
$CATALINA_HOME variable points the the correct tomcat folder.  That
way you can upgrade tomcat and just change the name in $CATALINA_HOME

So, when David writes 'cp
$HOME/src/oscar_source/oscar_mcmaster/install/oscar*properties
$CATALINA_HOME', it means that you have to copy the files from the
source directory to the tomcat home directory.

Note:  If $CATALINA_HOME has been set incorrectly, the file will go to
the wrong place ;-(

Next, you have to 'ln -s $CATALINA_HOME/oscar_mcmaster.properties
$CATALINA_HOME/oscar.properties'.
This creates a link from an alias (oscar.properties) to the real file
(oscar_mcmaster.properties).

So.....  If you make any error defining $CATALINA_HOME or creating the
link (ln), you will not find the file ;-(


To check $CATALINA_HOME, open a terminal screen and type ' cd $CATALINA_HOME'
The system should do the cd (change directory) and point to the
directory known as $CATALINA_HOME.
On my server, it is  /usr/share/tomcat5.5  it could be /usr/share/tomcat6

If you ls -l in the directory, you should see an entry as follows:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  oscar.properties ->
/usr/share/tomcat5.5/oscar_mcmaster.properties

If you do not, then you mistyped the ln command...

PS:  What is Catalina?
from wikipedia,
Catalina is Tomcat's servlet container. Catalina implements Sun
Microsystems' specifications for servlet and JavaServer Pages (JSP).


good luck ;-)
