Actually, I should have asked, how do I keep Geonetwork running even
after logging out of the server.

Hi GN,
I am at a standstill. I am unable to make GN 2.2.0 RC2 run
successfully with Tomcat 6, and while I can run it with Jetty, I am
unable to figure out how to keep Jetty/GN running even after logging
out of the server.
Additionally, even while running under Jetty, none of the db-related
actions work. For example, trying to log in as admin/admin gives me a
NullPointerException error.
Error
The requested operation could not be performed.
NullPointerException :
Would appreciate any guidance on this so I can move on to the next
portion -- actually learning how to use GN and determining if it will
suit our project or not.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi Puneet,
My suggestion to you is to really focus your efforts on getting Tomcat
up and running. While I only have limited experience with Jetty, my
understanding is that if you intend to run this on any "server" type
machine with multiple users hitting it (as well as GeoServer &
Intermap), Tomcat servlet container is realistically the only way to go.
What type of errors have you been getting through Tomcat? I have
successfully installed GeoNetwork/Tomcat on Fedora 8...

Thanks Grant. Well, I agree with you completely as I too would like to
have nothing to do with Jetty, and instead, make GN work with Tomcat.
Here is the recent message thread in this regard, presented
chronologically –
-- I wrote --
I installed geonetwork 2.1.0 on a RHEL ES3 box with Java 1.6 and
Tomcat 6. As far as I can tell, geonetwork [1] itself and geoserver
[2] are working fine, but intermap [3] is kaput. Whatever the reason,
the geonetwork experience is less than satisfying right now. Any
assistance in getting past this first step would be much welcome.
-- then I added --
I should add here that I really don't know what I am talking about
because I know less than nothing about Java. Fwiw, the tomcat manager
status page tells me that intermap is launched and working fine. I am
basing my above diagnosis on what Firebug is telling me. When I go to
my geoserver page, Firebug tries to call on
but croaks with the message that

</tr>

</form>
-- to which I got a reply from Jeroen Ticheler --
Please use the RC2 release of GeoNetwork 2.2.0.
-- to which, I responded, after installing GN 2.2.0 RC2 --
Thanks, this seems to be a bit better, but not too much.
Now when I go to geonetwork, I get a broken image in the little map
viewer in the top left of the browser, and the following in my Firebug
console
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<response>
<imgUrl>/intermap/tmp/null</imgUrl>
<scale>761,952,768</scale>
<extent minx="-180.0" maxx="180.0" miny="-90.0" maxy="90.0" />
<width>200</width>
<height>100</height>
</response>
Fwiw, I am on a Linux RHEL ES3 with Java 1.6 and Tomcat 6. Once again,
the Tomcat manager shows that all three apps, geonetwork, geoserver,
and intermap are running.
Interestingly, now even geoserver is not coming up successfully for
me. When I go to webserver:8080/geoserver, I get the welcome page
fine, I am able to log in as admin/geoserver, and then I click on demo
and get the demo page. But, when I click on any of the demos, I get a
page with all the map controls but no map. Once again, Firebug reveals
the following --
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?><!DOCTYPE
ServiceExceptionReport SYSTEM "http
://localhost:8080/geoserver/schemas//wms/1.1.1/WMS_exception_1_1_1.dtd">
<ServiceExceptionReport version
="1.1.1"> <ServiceException>Could not initialize class
sun.awt.X11GraphicsEnvironment
Could not initialize class
sun.awt.X11GraphicsEnvironment</ServiceException>
</ServiceExceptionReport>
I should reiterate that Geonetwork seems to work fine when started
with Jetty. By the way, there is a typo on the start-geonetwork.sh
file. Instead of
mv log/geonetwork.log.* log/archive
mv log/intermap.log.* log/archive
it should say
mv log/geonetwork.log* log/archive
mv log/intermap.log* log/archive
(note the period after log in the provided file is wrong).
So, it seems to be an issue in conjunction with the Tomcat setup.

Looks like you've had some issues ;/
One thing you might try (regarding the broken intermap image in
geonetwork), is to add a second intermap context link in Tomcat's
server.xml file (I'm assuming you did this for GeoNetwork, GeoServer &
Intermap already). For some reason the paths are all mixed up in
GeoNetwork and it really caused a lot of problems for me early on.<Context path="/intermap"
docBase="/usr/local/geonetwork/web/intermap" crossContext="false"
debug="0" reloadable="false" />
<Context path="geonetwork/intermap"
docBase="/usr/local/geonetwork/web/intermap" crossContext="false"
debug="0" reloadable="false" />Also, go into TomCat Manager and invalidate all the open GeoNetwork,
GeoServer & Intermap sessions and then restart the services. Remember
to shut down tomcat before making ANY changes, then restart it.Let me know if that helps at all... and we can try working backwards
from there.
Yes, this helps tremendously. I owe you a beer or sump'n Grant.
Jeebuz. Why is this not documented? Or, did this, for some strange
reason, only apply to me and you? I spent a few days spinning my
wheels on this.
Ok. So, now I am able to get all the interface stuff working,
everything is coming up on the GN website, and it is all powered by
Tomcat 6.
I am still, however, getting the NullPointerException when I try to
log in as admin/admin. What is the fu required to solve this?

Hi Grant,
I can wholeheartedly disagree with this 
I've been running Jetty in production for quite some months on our main server while we had a problem with Tomcat and it works as fast or faster than Tomcat. It seems an excellent solution even for production servers.
Cheers,
Jeroen

Hi Puneet,
I'm sorry you had problems to get started. At the same time I'm thinking that if you just had to evaluate the software for your projects, you'd rather play with the default settings first and start doing more complex configurations at a later stage. For now we have always said that one should use Java 1.5 and Tomcat 5.5. Anything you try to use outside of those is really your own choice and I feel a bit uncomfortable with your previous emails on this. To the best of my knowledge the default settings work for almost all OS choices.
You indicated previously that you know less than nothing about Java, I'm not sure what that means for configuring Tomcat or running servlet applications, but it suggests that you really better try default settings first.
Your login problem seems persistent since the first installation. I have the feeling that installation actually failed to create the database completely or at least partially. You should see a list of tables at ../web/geonetwork/WEB-INF/db/data/
You may consider a new install using Java 1.5 and Jetty.
Good luck,
Jeroen

Unfortunately, I am stuck with what I am stuck with, and don't really
have a choice to unroll the Java and Tomcat installations on the
server I have been provided.
Keep in mind that my process of "evaluating" includes not just
evaluating the software's capabilities but starts right off with
evaluating how hard or easy it may be to set it up on one of many
possible configurations. It also includes evaluating the
documentation, setup guide, etc. Of course, once I get it going, I am
happy to contribute my experiences and helpful notes back to the
community.
The nature of errors makes it seem to me that it has something to do
with paths, perhaps even permissions (although I would lean more
toward paths). It could also be because of something going kaput
during installation. Hard for me to know. How do I figure that out?

You may consider a new install using Java 1.5 and Jetty.
Also, please note that when I switch to running GN with Jetty, it
actually works fine (to the extent that I have been able to play with
it). This is on the same machine with the same Java 1.6.
My problem is that I can't figure out how to keep Jetty running even
after I log out.
And, finally, even with Jetty, while I can get the intermap working,
and the site draws ok, the admin/admin login doesn't work. It
continues to give me a very unhelpful "NullPointerException" error.
Good luck,

I haven't been following this thread closely, so this may not be helpful, but it might be worth a try:
There's a line in start-geonetwork.sh as follows:
java -Xms48m -Xmx512m -DSTOP.PORT=8079 -jar start.jar ../bin/jetty.xml &
and you might try putting a simple 'nohup' in front of that and a direct to a log after it:
nohup java -Xms48m -Xmx512m -DSTOP.PORT=8079 -jar start.jar ../bin/jetty.xml > mylogfile.log &
