Add tomcat server to netbeans

I use netbeans , and when I create a new web application project, I click "Add" to add the server reason to the tutorial that they use tomcat and not glassfish .

Then I select Tomcat 6.0 from the list, and the next page appears where I should enter

 Server Location Username Password

I do not get this part.

What place do they mean? And what is the username and password?

With Server Location they probably mean the root directory of the Tomcat installation, sometimes also known as CATALINA_HOME .

There is a file in the Tomcat conf directory named tomcat-users.xml . The Tomcat documentation tells you to add a user ID and password to this file so you can administer Tomcat. Thus, then they will need to be entered into NetBeans.

Carl's answer is correct, but there is a page with instructions on how to register an existing Tomcat installation with NetBeans , which is a bit more complete.

In addition, the IDE will add the username and password values ​​to tomcat-users.xml for you if the checkbox labeled "Create a user if he does not exist" is selected (and you have write access to tomcat-users.xml).
