Things I've got to find.
The Tomcat access log. Found It! See the Tomcat valve documentation. It discusses the org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve

My tree would make a great layout decorator for Apache Portals Jetspeed.

I think that a very interesting feature of Jetspeed-2 is it's LDAP support. Support for the Apache Directory Server is provided in the distribution. And discusion on supporting other servers is starting on JIRA-491

Installing OTRS 2.0.4 trouble ticket system on Fedore Core 4!

1. Download the RPM

[nagios@nagios noc]$ wget ftp://ftp.otrs.org/pub/otrs/RPMS/redhat/8.0/otrs-2.0.4-01.i386.rpm

2. Install RPM

[nagios@nagios noc]$ sudo rpm -ihv otrs-2.0.4-01.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
fetchmail is needed by otrs-2.0.4-01.i386

Resolve fetchmail dependency

[nagios@nagios noc]$ sudo yum install fetchmail

3. Start services

[nagios@nagios noc]$ sudo /sbin/service httpd start

I had problems with Fedora Core 4 and OTRS. This post saved me. It says to change all references to Apache to Apache2 in /etc/httpd/conf.d/otrs.conf

[nagios@nagios noc]$ sudo /sbin/service mysqld start

4. Set the password for the MySQL server

[nagios@nagios usr]$ sudo /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
[nagios@nagios usr]$ sudo /usr/bin/mysqladmin -p -u root -h mydomain.tld password 'new-password'
Enter password:

5. Install the OTRS database

http://mydomain.tld/otrs/installer.pl

A warning message about permission write access to Config.pm was resolved by disabling SELinux with this command,

[nagios@nagios usr]$ sudo /usr/sbin/setenforce 0

6. Start OTRS service

[nagios@nagios noc]$ sudo /sbin/service otrs start

I am doing some simple :) xml editing so I thought I would explore eclipse 1.2 xml support. So here we go with the Compound XML Document Toolkit http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/cxde

I'm using windows at the moment so I'm getting the all in one starter kit from the Web Tools project http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/ which depends on GEF and EMF.

Big download...

The installation of the Compound XML Document Toolkit was not successful but after an hour or two of using Web Tools xml editor I am satisfied to say that it provides good xml, xsl, dtd, and xml schema support. On the other hand my first wish would be to have a means of displaying the xpath a specific target location to any other place in the document. Visually determining an xpath such as the following is rather cumbersome,

XMI/XMI.content/UML:Model/UML:Namespace.ownedElement/UML:Package/UML:Namespace.ownedElement/UML:UseCase/UML:Namespace.ownedElement/UML:SignalEvent/UML:Event.parameter/UML:Parameter/UML:ModelElement.taggedValue/UML:TaggedValue/UML:TaggedValue.referenceValue/UML:ModelElement/XMI.extension/referentPath[@xmi.value='org.andromda.profile::presentation::WebFieldType::selecttextinput']

Thanks for reading...Keep coming back for more on UML editing.
