Description jrojcek 2007-06-26 15:26:54 UTC 
A participant wants to create a sample tomcat project, but he cannot proceed because there isn't tomcat installed.

Recommendation:

Probably the sample tomcat projects should only be available if tomcat is installed.
Comment 1 Sherold Dev 2007-07-18 13:34:32 UTC 
He can create the project and then assign some other server to that project.

IMO, the correct solution would be to let the user pick the target server in the wizard. This issue applies to all the
Jave EE sample projects.
Comment 2 John Jullion-ceccarelli 2007-08-06 15:54:54 UTC 
So the samples are visible even when Tomcat is not installed? Can we remove the Tomcat from the sample names? It gives
the impression that you need Tomcat to run them, when you really don't. They should work on Glassfish or any other
web/app server, right?

Comment 3 Sherold Dev 2007-08-06 17:22:14 UTC 
aren't there any license issues?
Comment 4 John Jullion-ceccarelli 2007-08-06 17:45:15 UTC 
Don't know. As long as we say in the template description that they come from Tomcat but can be run on any app server,
should be covered.

This is related to a bug that Tomasz is looking at.
