| If you prefer, TomEE can be setup by deploying a .war file into an existing Tomcat 7.x installation, as opposed to using the all-in-one bundle. This guide provides a set of step-by-step instructions to this approach. Please note that TomEE 1.7.x does not recommend Tomcat versions less than 7.0.54. Tomcat 8 is not currently supported in the released version, but you can check out the developer branch to see progress [here](dev/source-code.html). |
| |
| - Download the Apache Tomcat 7.0.55 server. <a href="http://tomcat.apache.org/download-70.cgi" target="_blank">http://tomcat.apache.org/download-70.cgi</a> |
| - Unzip the Tomcat distribution file. |
| - Update $CATALINA_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.xml to add a tomee user to allow access to the installer page. |
| |
| <!-- Activate/create these lines to get access to TomEE GUI --> |
| <role rolename="tomee-admin" /> |
| <user username="tomee" password="tomee" roles="tomee-admin" /> |
| |
| - Download the .war file you wish to use - either the tomee-webapp-1.7.1.war (for the webprofile installation) or tomee-webapp-plus-1.7.1.war (for the plus version). |
| - Copy and rename the .war file to $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/tomee.war (the .war filename is important). |
| - Start Tomcat. |
| - Go to the TomEE installer webapp (<a href="http://localhost:8080/tomee/">http://localhost:8080/tomee/</a>) and login with the user you added to tomcat-users.xml. |
| - Verify the values and click "Confirm". |
| |

| |
| - Restart Tomcat. |
| - Your TomEE installation is now complete! |
