Question 1:
so first i need to have a fedora to packaging. is Fedora 8 ok?
>>> Jasmine >>> Any Linux environment would be fine, so Fedora 8 is OK.

Question 2:
according to the development guide
Step 1 Run the SDK packaging tool pkg_build.sh, which is located in directory axp-sdk.<version>/tools
Specify parameters to the packaging tool interactively or in batch mode (in a file).
so how can i found the pkg_build.sh?

>>> Jasmine >>> Please download the SDK from CCO, extract it and you will find pkg_build.sh under tools folder. Find below the CCO location for 1.1.1 SDK.

AXP302# show software packages

Installed Packages:

 - Installer (Installer application) (1.1.1.0)
 - Global (Global manifest) (1.1.1)

i would like to include the tomcat, ssh into the package such that i can ssh to the guest OS after creating the virtual instance.
how can i do that?
 
>>> Jasmine >>> You can pkg_info.sh shell script in the SDK, run that with the tomcat and ssh package, get the SSID and use that with "--deps" parameter while packaging. For ex,

--deps '8cec8ee5-54c3-4667-b62e-d4a31805d44a,all:5d9267f0-f9c2-11db-8f0d-001635a94464,all'

For more than one package dependencies, you have to use : to indicate different packages SSID. Please go through the developer guide for more info on pkg_build.sh and pkg_info.sh.
 
Question 4:
if finally i can ssh to the guest OS, can i transfer file to the guest OS by sftp? if no, any way to achieve that?

>>> Jasmine >>> You can use scp to copy files from Linux workstation to guest OS and vice versa.

Question 5:
if i can transfer files to the guest OS, then i can install other softwares to it, is that true?
 
>>> Jasmine >>> Yes, You can scp executables and run it from the guest OS. What other softwares you exactly mean?

Yes, it is possible. You can find similar queries in forum related to this. Look out the knowledge database to too for sample programs which would be helpful for you.

Hi Kit,
You don't need to have tomcat and ssh packages put in the package location, as you have already copied it to the AXP blade. What you have done with the packaging is correct, giving out the SSID of both the packages. Once you install the package these services would be started automatically. You can see that Tomcat is started in the below files,
console-2.05b# ls -l /etc/rc.d/init.d
-rwxr-xr-x  2 51477     25   958 Aug 25 18:47 tomcat_service
console-2.05b# ls -l /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/
lrwxrwxrwx  2 51477     25 24 Feb 17 14:38 S15tomcat_service ->../init.d/tomcat_service
console-2.05b# ls -l /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/
lrwxrwxrwx  2 51477     25 24 Feb 17 14:38 K85tomcat_service ->../init.d/tomcat_service
 
To test out the service, you can put some JSP file in the Tomcat install directory, /opt/tomcat/webapps/ROOT and from the browser type "[url=http://<ip>/filename]http://<ip>/filename.
 
To SSH into the guest OS, you have tunnel user and tunnel root accounts. Please go through the Developer guide to explore it. Here is a snip of what you can do to enable SSH for guest OS,
se-10-76-104-137(config-c_app)> ip ssh server
se-10-76-104-137(config-c_app)> ip ssh username ?
  tunnel_root  SSH Tunnel Root User
  tunnel_user  SSH Tunnel Root User
