| Quick-Start Configuration notes for Tomcat 4.0 |
| ============================================== |
| |
| + Update your $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.xml to include |
| |
| <user name="artimus" password="g0rd0n" roles="manager,contributor" /> |
| |
| + Place WAR in webapps folder (usually $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps) and let it deploy |
| |
| + The connection pool requires 3 standard JARs to be available: jdbc2_0-std-ext.jar, jta.jar, and xerces.jar. If these are not on your classpath or in the $TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib folder (the latter being recommended), you can |
| |
| - - Copy them from the WAR's WEB-INF/std-ext directory to your $TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib directory. |
| |
| - - Remove jaxp.jar from your $TOMCAT_HOME/lib directory (so Tomcat uses Xerces instead). |
| |
| + Review WEB-INF/classes/poolman.xml for any changes needed for your setup, like your JDBC driver. Copy this to WEB-INF/src/conf so it survives a clean build. |
| |
| + Create a /var/lucene/artimus folder |
| |
| - - Under windows, create \var\lucene\artimus on your container's drive. |
| |
| + Optionally, create a folder /var/applogs for the connection pool log. |
| |
| + Create a database named artimus in your DBMS package (MySQL, Oracle, Hypersonic, whatever). |
| |
| + Be sure the approprite JDBC driver is available to the container or application (and specified in the poolman.xml) |
| |
| + Restart Tomcat so the changes take affect. |
| |
| + Login in (artimus g0rd0n), and create the tables from the menu. |

| Quick-Start FAQ |
| =============== |
| |
| What JARs do I need |
| |
| - See /WEB-INF/lib/index.html |
| |
| Where's the Struts Config? |
| |
| - Under WEB-INF/conf |
| |
| Where's the tablibs tlds? |
| |
| - Under WEB-INF/lib |
| |
| What changes do I have to make to build.xml? |
| |
| - Usually none. The default target will build the entire project, including the Javadocs. |
| |
| Where's the Application Resources? |
| |
| - It's named Resources.properties. The original is under WEB-INF/src/conf. It's copied under classes during a build. |
| |
| Why did the changes to my Resources.properties or poolman.xml disappear? |
| |
| - The original configuration files are under WEB-INF/src/conf and copied under classes during a build. Change the WEB-INF/src/conf versions. |
| |
| Can I use this stuff in my own application? |
| |
| - Pursuant to the Apache Software License (see LICENSE file), yes. |
