  1. Installing and configuring Tomcat IMPORTANT NOTE • As of this writing the default project you will download, import and use in this class is not enabled for Tomcat. If you truly need to use Tomcat for this course – please contact your IBM representative, and they will see if there is a Tomcat-specific project you can obtain. • That said – in general, you may wish to install and configure Tomcat as your application server, in order to run (test) your development work using RBDe. You actually have your choice of a number of application servers to run with, including: WebSphere Application Server, Tomcat, BEA’s WebLogic, etc. • Someone may already have installed and configured the Tomcat application server for you. If this is the case, or if you’re going to use WebSphere Application Server (WAS) you should skip ahead to the next step in this process. If not, we recommend you use Tomcat. Please follow the steps below to install and configure. • In a Web browser, go to the Apache Tomcat Web page: http://tomcat.apache.org. • Click the Download link for Tomcat 5.x. • On the download page, find the most recent version of Tomcat with a version number like 5.5.x, such as 5.5.23. Several downloads are available for each version. Do not use versions marked as ″alpha″ or ″beta.″ • Under the 5.5.x version of Tomcat, look under Binary Distributions and then under Core. • Download the Core version of Tomcat 5.5.x for your operating system. For Windows, select the ZIP file. For Linux, select the TAR.GZ file.

  2. Installing and configuring Tomcat • Unzip the file you downloaded and place the server files in an appropriate location on your computer. It isn’t important where you put the server files as long as you can find them again later. • You must now give Tomcat the proper driver file for the database. Find a file named derby.jar located at: • <Product_Install_Directory>\SDP70\runtimes\base_v61\derby\lib\ • Copy/paste this derby.jar file to • <Tomcat_Install_Directory>\common\lib

  3. Installing and configuring Tomcat • In the workbench, click Window → Preferences. The Preferences window opens. • At the left side of the Preferences window, expand Server. • Under Server, click Installed Runtimes. The right side of the Preferences window now shows a list of all of the server runtimes installed in the workbench. • Click Add. The New Server Runtime window opens. • In the New Server Runtime window, expand Apache. • Under Apache, click Tomcat v5.5. 13. Click Next. 14.
