Description Petr Jiricka 2002-10-02 08:07:45 UTC 
1. Do a clean install of the IDE, start it
2. In Runtime tab, choose Server Registry -> Installed 
Servers -> Tomcat -> Internal -> Start Server
3. The web browser will come up, select links JSP 
Examples, Servlet Examples or Tomcat Documentation on this 
page.

The links are broken, nothing will be displayed.

This is because the user-private Tomcat base directory in 
$USER_HOME/tomcat401_base/webapps does not contain all 
applications which are installed in the Tomcat 
distribution: $IDE_HOME/tomcat401/webapps.

I suggest the fix should be to specifically add contexts 
with the appropriate docbase ($IDE_HOME/tomcat401/webapps) 
to the user-private Tomcat configuration file 
$USER_HOME/tomcat401_base/conf/server.xml
Comment 1 _ rkubacki 2002-10-04 15:16:15 UTC 
This was already filled - your suggested fix is exactly what is needed
but requires Tomcat4.1.
Comment 2 Petr Jiricka 2004-02-04 20:47:35 UTC 
Fixed for the examples, but still an issue for Tomcat Documentation.
Assigning to Pavel.
Comment 3 zikmund 2004-09-08 16:45:13 UTC 
NetBeans 4.0 - links to examples/documentation don't work as well.
Comment 4 Pavel Buzek 2005-02-21 16:13:00 UTC 
This is because we remove the documentation and examples from bundled
tomcat. To fix this problems we would also need to remove the links
from index.
Comment 5 Jayashri Visvanathan 2008-12-23 23:30:02 UTC 
Tomcat 4.0 no longer supported. Please reopen if the bug is applicable to supported versions for NetBeans 6.5
