Deploying the *.war File on the Application Server

The deployment of the '*.war' file and the post-installation configuration of the Valuemation Web Client differ quite a lot on each of the supported web servers. The easiest and most straightforward one offers the Apache Tomcat servlet machine which is described here as a sample deployment.

For the other application servers, please ask for the dedicated documents:

Tomcat Deployment

Deployment is the term used for the process of installing a web application (either a 3rd party WAR or your own custom web application) onto the Tomcat server.

The web application deployment may be accomplished in a number of ways within the Tomcat server:

Statically - the web application is setup before Tomcat is started (unzipped to '<tomcat>/webapps/vmweb' )

Dynamically - by directly manipulating the already deployed web applications (relying on the auto-deployment feature) or remotely by using the Tomcat Manager web application.

The Tomcat Manager is a web application that can be used interactively (via HTML GUI) or programmatically (via the URL-based API) to deploy and manage web applications.
