This is probably best asked on the NetBeans mailing lists or forums. However, I
use NetBeans 6.9.1 and Tomcat 6.0.29 or Tomcat 5.5.31 all the time with no
issues. NetBeans 7 is required to support Tomcat 7.0.x.
You don't say:
a. Complete version of Tomcat (hint, 5.5.x)
b. Java version
c. Platform
d. Actual error message that NetBeans generates
The way NetBeans works is that it uses catalina.sh (catalina.bat on Windows) to
start and stop Tomcat. If you're working on Windows, you'll need to download
the zip archive of the core distribution and use that (not the service
installer). In the NetBeans Services pane, add a new server (under Servers) and
point the location of the server to where you unzipped the archive. Make sure
that the type of server you add is Tomcat 5.5. I don't think NetBeans will let
you add a 5.5 server as a 6.0 server or vice versa.
If you right-mouse click on the added server, you'll be able to look at the
properties of a particular server. For a single instance of Tomcat 5.5.x, make
sure that the values for Catalina Home and Catalina Base point to where you
unzipped the archive. There should be no need to change the other properties.
Make sure that you (as a user) have appropriate file permissions to the Tomcat
installation.
. . . . just my two cents.

Subject:NetBeans Tomcat 5.5 problem
Hello,
I use NetBeans 6.9 to create JavaServer Faces web application. I need Tomcat
5.5 because my web hosting only support this version. When i download Tomcat
6.0 from this site it works fine, but when i download Tomcat 5.5 and run
application NetBeans writes me message that server can not start. Does
anyone know what could be the problem since i am fighting with this three
days, i tried everything but i am running out of ideas.
Thank you very much and happy holidays,
Sasa!
