You need to do two things to deploy the ashkelon war file: [1] copy the war file to the tomcat webapps directory, as shown above, and [2] copy $JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar to $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib
If necessary, restart tomcat or load the new web application and explore http://localhost:8080/ashkelon/
