Installing on a J2EE Web Server

 Top  Previous  Next

XBM is deployed with a J2EE Web Application that can be used to deploy the XBM Remote Console via Java Webstart, without having to configure anything. The only thing to do is to create a context in the J2EE WebServer hosting the web application located in $XBMHOME/webapp.

Installing on Tomcat 4.1

To install the deployment application on Tomcat 4.1 simply add in the Tomcat webapps directory ($CATALINA_HOME/webapps by default) an XML file named as the context you are going to use (i.e. xbm.xml) containing:

<Context path="<CONTEXT_NAME>" docBase="<XBMHOME>/webapp" debug="0" reloadable="true">
  <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
     prefix="localhost.xbm.log."
     suffix=".txt"
     timestamp="true"
  />
</Context>

replacing the CONTEXT_NAME with the real context name, and XBMHOME with the real XBM installation path ($XBMHOME).

Once configured the XML file and restarted the web server simply connect to http://your.tomcat.web.server/CONTEXT_NAME/xbmcw.jnlp (where CONTEXT_NAME is the name specified above) to start the remote console.
