In theory, the FileManager WebApplication (war) can be installed in any J2EE servlet container.
In practice, AstroGrid use Apache Tomcat server in all of our testing and deployments.
The following instructions have been tested with tomcat-5.0.28.
If anyone has experience of installing FileManager in a different J2EE container, please let us know.
The FileManager WebApplication (war) can be deployed manually, by placing the war file in the Tomcat webapps directory.
Please refer to the Tomcat deployment documentation for details.
Or, the FileManager WebApplication (war) can be deployed using the Tomcat Manager tools.
Please refer to the Tomcat Manager documentation for details.
Once deployed, you will need to set the JNDI configuration properties for the FileManager service.
The configuration properties can be set by adding <Environment> entries to the WebApplication context file.
Alternatively, you can use the Tomcat Admin tools to configure the properties on-line.
Please refer to the Tomcat documentation for details.
