Spring Insight outside of tc server?

[chesteric31]

Is it now possible to install/deploy Insight on a simple Tomcat 5.5.x or a simple Tomcat 6.x.x? Also outside a TcServer...
I've done few tests with the Insight.war, *.jar and the context.xml but I've again some issues to view the localhost:8080/insight page...

Thanks in advance,

[chesteric31]

Finally, I've succeeded to install Insight into a Apache tomcat 6.0.20, to do this, follows these steps:

1. Copy of *.jar from the tc server lib folder to the original tomcat lib folder, WARNING do not overwrite the .jar from the original tomcat
2. Copy the web.xml from tc server conf folder to the original tomcat conf folder, overwrite can be permit
3. Copy the context.xml from tc server conf folder to the original tomcat conf folder, overwrite can be permit
4. Copy the folder: webapps-lib from tc server to the original tomcat root folder

Good luck

Hello, i have tried to do the steps you have described. Unfortunately i have some problem. Maybe you can help me.

So i have done this steps :

I have done the step 1 to 3 without any problems.
I had some problems with step 4 because there is no webapps-lib folder in tc server so i supposed you talked about the lib folder in the insight instance of tc.

But i receive an error :

Any ideas?

Thx.

The tc-server-6.0.20.C from springsource has a folder webapps-lib, that's mandatory.
Without this folder has its jars, that's not possible to launch Tomcat with Insight inside
Otherwise, download once again the tc server from the springsource website and retry...

Keep me in touch,

Hi,
Are you able to see JDBC level drill downs when you deploy insight in normal tomcat ?

cheers !
gary

[garyskon]

I configured this with an external tomcat and still can't see jdbc drill downs.
I rest my case !

[chesteric31]

Please see in attachment a JDBC output graphics (tomcat6 and spring insight).SpringInsight.jpg

[garyskon]

Thanks
I configured the way you had suggested and Insight does come up but JDBC drill downs don't
I have started to wonder if it has something to do with my jars or the DB we are using. In this case all the jars are unders WEB-INF/lib . . .

We are using MySQL and use Spring JDBC templates to query the DB . . . .

[chesteric31]

It's important to signal that I'm using for now the version 1.0.0.M2 of Insight, I've seen that exists now a new version (1.5.0) but I've not yet tested with this one.
An another important thing to say is that we are using Tomcat 6.0.20 and not Tomcat 5.x.x.
We re using Oracle here, but it doesn't seemed to be an explanation of success...

[garyskon]

Thanks - So far I am on almost similar versions.
Tomcat 6.x and Insight 1.0.0.M2
