Deploying to Tomcat

For both Windows and Linux/Unix, deploying Mr. XML Publisher on Tomcat is truly as simple as:

  1. Copy the entire XML_Publisher directory, as is, from the installation CD into Tomcat's webapps directory.

  2. Edit the Mr. XML Publisher web.xml file.

    There is no short list of instructions for editing the web.xml file. Virtually all of your configuration and administration for Mr. XML Publisher is done in the web.xml file. The majority of this document aims to describe how you do just that.

  3. If necessary, edit the online help.

    If the online help has not already been customized for your site, check it and edit the entry.jsp file as necessary.

  4. If necessary, edit the paths listed in the xsl_locations.html file.

    Your users need the paths to server-side XSL so that their "<xsl:import href='…'>" elements will work when importing server-side XSL into their customization layers.

If you wish to customize the user interface or the XMLP_JavaUtils applet, your license provides you with the right to do that. All files used to construct the interface are provided as unobfuscated source code. Tips and hints for customizing the user interface are provided in User Interface Customization.

All required drivers and third-party libraries are in Mr. XML Publisher's WEB-INF/lib directory. All Mr. XML Publisher's class files are in the WEB-INF/classes/com/swhitlat directory.
