[Babeldoc-devel] help setting babeldoc up with Tomcat

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

I think perhaps there some fundamental things I don't understand regarding 
setting up babeldoc to run under Tomcat.

The first is that I have a clean install of Tomcat and Babeldoc, everything starts 
okay and when I access localhost/babeldoc-console, the browser returns and I 
see nothing, however the page is served, and an exception is thrown.  Details 
are below.

The second is how to pass configuration parameters (e.g. which scanner to 
start, how to set up the config files, which pipeline, etc...)  I've tried putting the 
usual parameters on the catalina command line in various ways, reading the bat 
files, etc. but can't figure it out.

I guess these two may be related, as the Tomcat error thrown is trying to 
instantiate simple, which I assume is related to pipelines or scanners.  I have no 
idea what pipeline or scanner it thinks it's running at this point because of the 
configuration issue above.

Thanks for any help in getting started.

Here's the detail on the babeldoc-console issue.  The servlet serves, 

I see nothing in the browser, and the page source is this:
	<frameset cols="100,*">
		<frame name="navigation" src="navigation.vm" noresize 
frameborder=0>
		<frame name="main" src="main.vm" noresize frameborder=0>
	</frameset>

The velocity log shows that velocity has correctly started. But I guess that 
somehow it isn't processing the .vm files...

In the tomcat console I have this (I've shown the environment in case that will 
assist you in assisting me):
