Tomcat Integration seems missing

I just set mine up with Tomcat 4.1.12, I found a good hint in this:

Had to take the two jar in $CATALINA_HOME$\common\endorsed in my project classpath.

You need to add the tomcat integration jar to the plugins folder.

The jar is located in the {$IDEA_HOME}\tomcatIntegration_plugin\tomcatIntegration.zip file. Open that file, and copy tomcatIntegration.jar to the plugins folder -- 4.0.x intergration works fine.

Can you describe the steps you took to get Tomcat 4.1.12 running? I
included the two jar files in my classpath however I encountered and
error when I run the application. The error is displayed below

Which IDEA build are you using?


Thanks in advance

However, bear in mind that the integration supports only Tomcat 4.0.x

Well, this is discussable. The plugin is just a reference implementation of
the web server integration OpenAPI. Thus it is optional.
That's why it is not "preinstalled"
