- First, you'll need to install the "Tomcat" plugin for NetBeans, if it isn't already installed.
- Go to the "Tools" menu and select "Plugins".
- Select the "Available Plugins" tab. This should list an entry for "Tomcat" or "Java Web Applications"
- Check the box next to it, and click on 'install'.
- Restart NetBeans
- You'll now want to tell NetBeans where your Tomcat installation is located.
- Go to the "Tools" menu and select "Servers".
- Click the "Add Server.." button to add a new server
- Select the type of Server (e.g. Tomcat 6.0/7.0) and click "Next >"
- NetBeans will ask you for the "Catalina Home" location of this Tomcat Server. This is the location where Tomcat is installed (e.g. On Windows it may be "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat-6.0"). You'll also need to give NetBeans your credentials for the "manager" role in Tomcat (which can be configured in the tomcat-users.xml configuration file).
- After configuring your Tomcat 6.0 server, you may want to reconfigure a few default settings.
- Go to the "Tools" menu and select "Servers".
- Select your "Tomcat 6.0" server.
- On the "Connection" tab, you may wish to enable the HTTP Monitoroption
- This will start up HTTP Monitoring (in a new tab) in NetBeans, whenever you start this server. HTTP Monitoring may be useful to developers who wish to view all HTTP requests/responses that occur during their development process.
