RunningTheWebappInTomcat

Install Tomcat 6 in whatever way you prefer. Apt-get works great on Debian-based systems.

Edit opentripplanner-api-webapp/src/main/resources/data-sources.xml to point to where your graph will live once you build it with the GraphBuilder.

Build everything with mvn package -DskipTests.

Use the Tomcat manager webapp to upload the opentripplanner-webapp.war and opentripplanner-api-webapp.war files.

If you are using Tomcat security, edit your Tomcat security policy, which probably lives in /etc/tomcat6/policy.d/*.policy .

Add the following:

grant codeBase "file:${catalina.base}/webapps/opentripplanner-api-webapp/-" {
    permission java.io.FilePermission "/var/lib/opentripplanner/-","read"; /* location of Graph.obj */`
     
    permission java.util.PropertyPermission "org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory.HashtableImpl", "read";
    permission java.util.PropertyPermission "com.sun.jersey.core.util.ReaderWriter.BufferSize", "read";
    
    permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "accessClassInPackage.sun.reflect.generics.reflectiveObjects";

    /* there aren't fatal -> webapp still runs w/o them... */
    permission java.util.PropertyPermission "org.geotools.referencing.epsg-datasource", "read";
    permission java.util.PropertyPermission "org.geotools.referencing.crs-directory", "read";
    permission java.util.PropertyPermission "org.geotools.referencing.forceXY", "read";
    
    permission java.lang.reflect.ReflectPermission "suppressAccessChecks";
    
    permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "shutdownHooks";
    permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "accessClassInPackage.org.apache.tomcat.util.http";
};
