Setup jWic on tomcat

Last Update: 2005-11-08 Author: Florian Lippisch

This document describes how to setup a new web-application. This description has been created using an Apache Tomcat v5.0.28 server, but it should work for other servlet containers as well.

Prerequisits

What you need to install jWic is a pre-installed servlet container like Apache Tomcat and the latest jWic distribution.

Setup the sample web-application

1. Go to the webapp directory in your server and create a new directory called "myjwic".
2. Copy the content of the default_webapp from the distribution into your myjwic directory.
3. Create a new directory named "lib" in the myjwic/WEB-INF directory.
4. Copy all files from the lib directory in the distribution to the just created lib directory in myjwic/WEB-INF.
5. Copy the jwic.jar and jwic_samples.jar file into the same directory.

Test the installation

Now start your webserver and start one of the samples:

• http://localhost:8080/myjwic/sample/sample1.xwic
• http://localhost:8080/myjwic/sample/sample2.xwic
