[K12OSN] tomcat installation how to?

[Barry Cisna]

Hello All,

Does anyone have a good step.1 step.2 step.3 on how to get tomcat and
all the zillion other deps required  installed on FC3 and FC4 and get it
to actually work out of the box?
This is my first venture into doing tomcat.
Im getting all sorts of java related errors when trying to start
tomcat,having tried all sorts of different java packages to co-exist
with tomcat.
Reason being, Id like to try the opennms package that looks like a good
network discovery tool, and i've went word for word from the install
guide there but still no joy:(
I'm thinking maybe i should just stick with ntop which has wprked out
very well for us.
Thanks,
Barry Cisna
