| 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 link:dev/source-code.html[here]. |
| |
| * Download the Apache Tomcat 7.0.55 server. |
| http://tomcat.apache.org/download-70.cgi |
| * Unzip the Tomcat distribution file. |
| * Update $CATALINA_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.xml to add a tomee user to |
| allow access to the installer page. |
| + |
| [source,xml] |
| ---- |
| <!-- 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 (http://localhost:8080/tomee/) and |
| login with the user you added to tomcat-users.xml. |
| * Verify the values and click "Confirm". |
