  16. RBD Product and Course Setup UNIT Topics: • Downloading RBD software (trial edition) • Installing and configuring Tomcat Application Server • Installing and configuring WebSphere Application Server

  17.  Course Application Server Considerations  IMPORTANT NOTES • With RBD and EGL you have a choice of a number of application servers to run web applications with, including: WebSphere Application Server and Tomcat • In order to accommodate customers with limited access to application servers, we will use Tomcat in our examples. • Someone may have already installed and configured the Tomcat application server for you. If this is the case, or if you’re going to use WebSphere Application Server skip ahead to the next step in this process – (go to slide 39) • If you wish to use Tomcat, you might first read about the software from this link: • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Tomcat • To install and configure Tomcat on your PC follow the steps listed in the upcoming slides *** See Slide Notes

  18.  Installing and configuring the course database – Tomcat Server Users • This course uses a pre-configured Project and an open-source (Derby) database, which you will need to install and configure. Before installing Tomcat, you should unzip the class database on your machine. • Someone may already have installed and configured the database for you. If so, skip ahead to the next section. If not, please follow the steps below to unzip the Derby database. • Unzip the EGLDerbyR7.zip file into: C:\databases\ • The files in the folder should look like this after you have unzipped them  *** See Slide Notes

  19.  Installing Tomcat • 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.

  20.  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: • <Prod_Install_Directory>\SDP70\runtimes\base_v61\derby\lib\ • Copy/paste this derby.jar file to • <Tomcat_Install_Directory>\common\lib
