Red5 latest svn: configuring tomcat as Java EE-Container

Latest svn version of red5 does not come with a default Java EE container. I want to configure Tomcat as the Java EE container is order to be able to execute Jsp/Servlet pages on port 5080.

These are the exact steps i took:

  1. svn checkout
  2. ant prepare
  3. ant dist
  4. copied the following files to red5/dist/plugins directory: catalina.jar jasper-el.jar jasper-jdt.jar jasper.jar tomcat-coyote.jar tomcatplugin-1.0.jar
  5. copied jee-container.xml from the tomcatplugin to the red5/dist/conf dir.
  6. made sure RED5_HOME environment variable is properly configured
  7. started red5.sh

red5 won't start.

the full output of red5.sh script is at the following url:

Solution

  • I was missing the following jar:

    tomcat-juli-slf4j.jar

    I just copied it from an old red5 installation and it worked.
