[rules-users] Problems deploying war

Hi,

There have been a few people with Tomcat deployment issues for
kie-drools-wb, so I thought I'd give it a try.

These are the steps I followed for *successful* deployment (most of which
is already documented, but not obvious, in the WAR's README.txt file):-

*6.0.1*

Starting with a clean install of Tomcat 7.

1. Copy "kie-tomcat-integration" JAR into TOMCAT_HOME/lib
(org.kie:kie-tomcat-integration)
2. Copy "JACC" JAR into
TOMCAT_HOME/lib(javax.security.jacc:artifactId=javax.security.jacc-api
in JBoss Maven
Repository)
3. Copy "slf4j-api" JAR into
TOMCAT_HOME/lib(org.slf4j:artifactId=slf4j-api in JBoss Maven
Repository)
4. Add valve configuration into TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml inside
<Host>element as last valve definition:

   <Valve className="org.kie.integration.tomcat.JACCValve" />

5. Edit TOMCAT_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.xml to include roles and users, make
sure there will be 'analyst' or 'admin' roles defined as it's required to
be authorized to use kie-wb
6. Delete org.uberfire.security.auth.AuthenticationSource inside
WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/services
7. Rename
org.uberfire.security.auth.AuthenticationSource-TOMCAT-JEE-SECURITY to
org.uberfire.security.auth.AuthenticationSource inside
WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/services
8. Increase Java's PermGen space by adding file TOMCAT_HOME/bin/setenv.sh
 containing export JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m"
9. Start Tomcat with TOMCAT_HOME/bin/startup.sh
10. Go to Management Console, http://localhost:8080/management
11. Deploy modified WAR

If you do not complete these steps the WAR works "out of the box" but
you'll need to define Users in WEB-INF/classes/login.config

*6.1.0-SNAPSHOT*

Starting with a clean install of Tomcat 7.

1. Copy "kie-tomcat-integration" JAR into TOMCAT_HOME/lib
(org.kie:kie-tomcat-integration)
2. Copy "JACC" JAR into TOMCAT_HOME/lib
(javax.security.jacc:artifactId=javax.security.jacc-api in JBoss Maven
Repository)
3. Copy "slf4j-api" JAR into TOMCAT_HOME/lib
(org.slf4j:artifactId=slf4j-api in JBoss Maven Repository)
4. Add valve configuration into TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml inside Host
element as last valve definition:

   <Valve className="org.kie.integration.tomcat.JACCValve" />

5. Edit TOMCAT_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.xml to include roles and users, make
sure there will be 'analyst' or 'admin' roles defined as it's required to
be authorized to use kie-wb
6. Start Tomcat with TOMCAT_HOME/bin/startup.sh
7. Go to Management Console, http://localhost:8080/management
8. Deploy modified WAR

With kind regards,

Mike
