tomcat 7

[mikejbond@…]

Would it be possible to add tomcat 7 (latest being 7.0.11) to macports? It's been GA for about six months now and appears to be stable.

[blair (Blair Zajac)]

Sure, I'd like it to have it also?

Can you provide a Port for it? The number of cycles I have is limited.

BTW, I'm thinking of using the binary Tomcat distribution, not the source one. I don't see any point in compiling Tomcat.

[pengyu.ut@…]

Has this been ported to macports? I still don't find tomcat7.

[mikejbond@…]

I have put together a tomcat7 port based on the tomcat6 Portfile and files. I renamed tomcatctl to tomcat7ctl and updated all the various scripts to make it work. It still uses the src archive as it was simpler and the original tomcat6 port used some files that don't exist in the binary distribution.

I don't know how new ports are usually submitted, I'm attaching it to the ticket as a zip file. Anyone that wishes to use this prior to it being included in macports officially can do the following:

cd /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports/java
unzip <attached zip file>
cd ../..
portindex
port install tomcat7

I am using tomcat7 from eclipse for development. I haven't tried to run it standalone so can't guarantee that it will run without some tweaking.

Correction to the instructions for manually adding the attached zip to the available ports:

cd /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports/java
unzip <attached zip file>
cd ..
portindex
port install tomcat7

[mikejbond@…]

Any chance the attached zip containing the Portfile, etc could be added to the ports repository?

Need to add "tomcat-juli.jar" to CLASSPATH when adding "java.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager" to JAVA_OPTS, i.e. change:

if [ -r "${CATALINA_HOME}/bin/tomcat-juli.jar" ]; then
  JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager"
fi

to:

if [ -r "${CATALINA_HOME}/bin/tomcat-juli.jar" ]; then
  JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager"
  CLASSPATH="$CLASSPATH":"$CATALINA_HOME"/bin/tomcat-juli.jar
fi

I attached a Portfile for tomcat7. Basically I just modified the existing tomcat6 portfile and didn't do a lot of testing but its builds and installs without error. Note that Tomcat 7 requires java 6 in order to be built. You must use java 6 to compile tomcat 7 however you may use java 7 to run tomcat 7 (see: ​http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/building.html#Download_a_Java_Development_Kit_(JDK)_version_6).

[mmpestorich (Mike M Pestorich)]

Woops. Sorry. Guess I should have read all the messages... I just noticed that in the tomcat7.zip there was already an updated Porfile.

A 6 year old ticket, and now 2 major versions behind (soon to be 3 with the release of Tomcat 9). Think I'll be using HomeBrew.

Support for Tomcat 7 ended 2021-03-31. Can this request be closed?
