Running GeoNetwork under Tomcat

GeoNetwork can be run under Tomcat.

1. Install Tomcat.
2. Build GeoNetwork. (See HowToCompile for instructions.)
3. From your GeoNetwork build, copy the subdirectories of the web directory to the webapps directory of Tomcat. (So you will have webapps/geonetwork, etc., in your Tomcat installation.)
4. Edit Tomcat's server.xml to set parameters as you wish.
5. Start Tomcat.

Unfortunately . . . at present stopping Tomcat does not shut down GeoNetwork cleanly. This is documented at ​http://www.nabble.com/Tomcat-5.5-hangs-when-hosting-GN-2.2.0--SEC%3DUNCLASSIFIED--td17660763.html. You need to make either of the modifications suggested there before you build.
