To secure your web services using an Addama appspot download 'addama.properties' for your domain under:
https://your-appspot-id.appspot.com/html/apikeys.html
Place the 'addama.properties' file under: apache-tomcat-7.0.25/lib/services/
The 'addama.properties' file is optional, if you wish to deploy these services in "stand-alone" mode, just remove the 'addama.properties' file.
The configuration files for local Addama services are located under: apache-tomcat-7.0.25/lib/services/
The web services (war files) are located under: apache-tomcat-7.0.25/webapps/
To re-deploy local services after changing a service configuration, you have these options: a) restart tomcat (bin/shutdown.sh bin/startup.sh) b) touch war file (touch webapps/*.war)
Web content (HTML, JS, images) can be deployed under: apache-tomcat-7.0.25/webapps/ROOT/
For instance, the "Development Sandbox" application in "https://addama-systemsbiology-public.appspot.com" is deployed under:
apache-tomcat-7.0.25/webapps/ROOT/sandbox
and made available through "https://cancerregulome.systemsbiology.net/sandbox".
Configuring Tomcat: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/index.html Tomcat is not a required web services container, any J2EE webapp container should be able to deploy these services (war files)
