openrdf-sesame database / triplestore in eclipse wtp project with tomcat

Question

I want to use an openrdf-sesame triplestore in an Eclipse WTP project with a Tomcat server. I need to put some sample date to this triplestore to use it in my wtp project.

If I use Tomcat without Eclipse, I have to deploy the two war-files (openrdf-sesame.war, openrdf-workbench.war) with the tomcat-manager to Tomcat. Then I can access the openrdf-workbench via http://localhost:8080/openrdf-workbench/ to put the sample data on the triplestore, but in Eclipse it's not possible to deploy the two war-files with the tomcat-manager.

How can I use sesame in an eclipse-wtp project inside tomcat?

Edit:

I tried Jeen Broekstra answer, but now I get a lot of errors in Eclipse.

Answer 1

It is possible to deploy the standard Sesame war files from Eclipse, it's quite easy actually:

1. Go to "File -> import ... -> Web -> WAR file" and select the openrdf-sesame.war file.
2. Choose the appropriate Tomcat server as your target runtime and click next.
3. In the next screen (import web libraries), leave everything unchecked, click Finish.

Once you've done this, openrdf-sesame will be availabe in Eclipse as a web project, which you can deploy and run on Tomcat like any other web project.
