Thank you Byron for your collaboration.
I will see your tips about this alternative installation of GeoNetwork. But seems that it won't be possible to include it in time for feature freeze!
I would like to ask Simon for more help on including in the script the document installation:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/geonetwork/files/Documentation/GeoNetwork_opensource_v240_Manual.pdf/download
And to check and complete the GeoNetwork entry on this apps table:

Thank you,

Assunto: RE: Getting GeoNetwork on the Live DVD being handed out at the FOSS4G conference - unclassified
Good Morning,
Sorry I missed this email string but it came to my work email and I was
out of the office by the time started. (The benefit of being in a
different time zone.) Anyway, is it sorted, or do you still need some
help? I would defer to Simon on most questions - as he as a better
overall understanding of GN than do I, but I am willing to help out
where
I can.
It would be possible to design the install to
access other software installs on the VM like GeoServer, PostgreSQL, and
Tomcat, but I am not sure how much you would want to complicate the
install and deviate too much from the standard install. On the other
hand, multiple servlet engines, databases, and GeoServer installs could
be confusing and potentially conflicting on the VM and/or to the user as
well.
Here are some examples of how I configured my GeoNetwork2.2 setup:
If you want to run GN from Tomcat instead of jetty, just put your
version of the following in Tomcat/conf/server.xml :
<Context
path="/geonetwork"
docBase="C:\Program Files\geonetwork22\web\geonetwork"
crossContext="false"
debug="1"
reloadable="false" />
<Context
path="/intermap"
docBase="C:\Program Files\geonetwork22\web\intermap"
crossContext="false"
debug="1"
reloadable="false" />
<Context
path="/geonetwork/intermap"
docBase="C:\Program Files\geonetwork22\web\intermap"
crossContext="false"
debug="1"
reloadable="false" />
<Context
path="/geoserver"
docBase="C:\Program Files\geonetwork22\web\geoserver"
crossContext="false"
debug="1"
reloadable="false" />
<Context
path="/geonetwork/docs"
docBase="C:\Program Files\geonetwork22\docs"
crossContext="false"
debug="1"
reloadable="false" />
If run from Tomcat, there is no need for the GN Start or Stop options in
the GN menu.
The GeoServer context could be a problem as it could conflict with other
GeoServer installs. Which begs the question, why not then point to the
other GeoServer install? I have not got around to playing with this
yet. My assumption has been that a different GS install would only need
the named service to work with a different map service. The file that
would configure the default Mapservice is
geonetwork/web/intermap/WEB-INF/mapServers.xml. The section that
configures default mapservices is <mapContexts). Here is what mine looks
like. Presumably you can alter this to suit.
<mapContexts>
<default name="Layers for default map -- DUMMY NAME:not
used">
<server
url="http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wms"
type="2" >
<layer name="gn:world"></layer>
</server>
<server
url="http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wms"
type="2" >
<layer name="gn:gboundaries"></layer>
</server>
<!-- <server
url="http://www2.demis.nl/mapserver/request.asp" type="2" >
<layer name="Topography"></layer>
</server>
<server
url="http://www2.demis.nl/mapserver/request.asp"
type="2" >
<layer name="Borders"></layer>
</server>
<server
url="http://www2.demis.nl/mapserver/request.asp"
type="2" >
<layer name="Coastlines"></layer>
</server>
<server
url="http://geonetwork3.fao.org/ows/12279"
type="2">
<layer name="world_country_boundary" />
</server>
<server url="http://geonetwork3.fao.org/ows/1"
type="2">
<layer name="national_boundaries_africa"
/>
</server>
-->
</default>
The configuration file that controls the database being used is
geonetwork/web/geonetwork/WEB-INF/config.xml. The tag where this is set
is <resources>. I use postgresql and my config.xml file looks like
this:
<resources>
<!-- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - - -->
<!-- Postgresql -->
<!-- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - - -->
<resource enabled="true">
<name>main-db</name>
<provider>jeeves.resources.dbms.DbmsPool</provider>
<config>
<user>postgres</user>
<password>*******</password>
<driver>org.postgresql.Driver</driver>
<url>jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/geonetwork22</url>
<poolSize>10</poolSize>
</config>
</resource>
The database would need to be configured first for this to work. This
is easiest to do using GAST.
Hope this helps. Let me know how it goes.
For future correspondence, it is probably best use this email. To much
stuff gets blocked by my work email and I cannot access it outside work.
Simon, The last emails you sent me were blocked. Can you resend them to
this address?
Cheers,
Byron Cochrane
