1. I created a key pair in US West and was confused when I couldn't get beanstalk to use that key pair.
   • Beanstalk is only in US East so you have to make and use a key pair from US East
   • Get the key pair PlatformKeyPairEast from Nicole
2. I could not ssh to my box even though I had the right key pair and the hostname.
   • I needed to edit the default firewall setttings to open up port 22
3. My serlvet didn't work right away and I wanted to look at stuff on disk.
   • The servlet WAR is expanded under /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/ROOT/
     • If you want to save time (and a beanstalk deployment) you can overwrite that WAR with a new WAR if you want.
   • The log files are here:

     Code Block
     /var/log /var/log/tomcat6/monitor_catalina.log.lck /var/log/tomcat6/tail_catalina.log /var/log/tomcat6/tail_catalina.log.lck /var/log/tomcat6/monitor_catalina.log /var/log/httpd/error_log /var/log/httpd/access_log /var/log/httpd/elasticbeanstalk-access_log /var/log/httpd/elasticbeanstalk-error_log

4. Error: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/servlet/jsp/jstl/core/Config
   • In a tomcat container, such as Elastic Beanstalk, you have to include jstl.jar manually, hence this entry.

     Code Block
     <dependency> <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId> <artifactId>jstl</artifactId> <version>1.2</version> </dependency>

5. Here's what your deployment might look like when things are working well:
