deploy prototype

[muchafel]

to enable fast turnarounds, we should start early to verify that we are able to deploy. we should document all necessary steps. thus we should start having a running prototype on lisan.

Put the "example.war" package under TomcatBasePath/webapps/, then run TomcatBasePath/bin/catalina.sh start. Now u can visit the homepage http://localhost:8080/example

• Tipps: If u wanna visit the homepage via http://localhost:8080, there are two ways to get there.
  • 1. rename example.war to ROOT.war. By default, Tomcat treats ROOT.war as root path.
  • 2. Changing the name of root war package. adding <Context docBase="TomcatBasePath/webapps/interactiveStance-2.0" path="" reloadable="true"/> between label in file conf/server.xml, then you could keep your war package name, for instance, "interactiveStance-2.0.war"

If you has ever used eclipse to run tomcat server, you would see a line <Context docBase="TomcatBasePath/wtpwebapps/interactiveStance" path="" reloadable="true" source="org.eclipse.jst.jee.server:interactiveStance"/> in conf/server.xml. It means that you should put your package named interactiveStance.war under "TomcatBasePath/wtpwebapps/"
