WL 6.0.0.1 Installation Manager install for Tomcat7 fails create Derby tables and fails put worklight-jee-library.jar into /lib folder of Tomcat

I personally tried the installation process of our Consumer WL 6.0.0.1 IBM Installation Manager Repository version on my Mac OSx 10.8 with IBM Installation Manager .macosx.cocoa.x86_64_1.6.3001.20130528_1750. A colleague reports the same problem from a Linux install.

When selecting Tomcat 7 and new Derby as install destination, the Installation Manager only puts the WL Application Center things into the Tomcat web.xml and webapps folder etc, but fails to do the necessary steps to deploy a developed WL application right away:

  • we had to hunt down the worklight-jee-library.jar and put it ourselves into the /lib folder of the Tomcat

  • we checked the Derby DB that the Installation Manager created, the databases were there, but no tables were created in there by the Installation Manager. So we had to execute the table sql scripts ourselves manually.

Is this problem with the Installation Manager and Tomcat + Derby known?

The IBM Installation Manager for Worklight 6.0.0.0 currently DOES NOT install Worklight.

What it actually does is extract the Worklight framework files and Ant task scripts, which you then need to configure and run, for the framework files as well as your Worklight project's .war file to be deployed on the Application Server. I believe the database is being created/filled via the Ant task script as well.

The process is well documented in the Information Center for Worklight 6.0.
