![]() Note: you must have administrative privileges to run Tomcat server from the command line prompt. Below is the screen shot of running service.bat install. Then, in the command line prompt navigate to TOMCAT_ROOT_DIR\bin folder and run “service.bat” script with “install” option. To manually start Tomcat you need to open Windows’s command line prompt by searching for cmd in the start-up menu. This needs to be done each time you restart your computer. To run Tomcat server on Windows you need to configure it as a Windows service. ![]() We will not discuss in details installation steps for Tomcat, but you can refer to the Apache Tomcat server’s official installation howto here on how to setup the Tomcat 8.Īssuming you have installed Tomcat, let’s look at how to verify if it is working. The Tomcat distribution used in this example is a zip of the binary core for 64-bit Windows. As of writing of this article the latest version of Tomcat server is Tomcat 8 and it is available from here. Once you checked that you have JDK 7 setup, get Tomcat server distribution package from the Apache Tomcat’s official website. If you need a refresher on how to set up JDK 7 on Windows 7 please refer here. In this example we will install Tomcat 8 on the Windows 7 Professional 64-bit system, which has JDK 7 installed. Note that the ordering of the configuration elements in the server’s web.xml must be followed as specified by the Java Servlet 3.1. Describing options for the per web application configuration file is outside of the scope of this article, but you can read more about it here or here.įrom now on, whenever we say web.xml, we refer to the Tomcat server’s web.xml located in the TOMCAT_ROOT_DIR\conf and shared by all web applications deployed on that server. Note that web application specific configurations should NEVER be placed in the shared web.xml. Each of the web application may optionally override shared configurations by defining their own web.xml file located in TOMCAT_ROOT_DIR\webapps\PROJECT_DIR\WEB-INF folder. This configuration file is used for basic web application’s configuration shared by all web applications that will be deployed on the Tomcat server instance. It is located in the TOMCAT_ROOT_DIR\conf folder. Now let’s look at web.xml deployment descriptor configuration file, which is one of the main configuration files for the Tomcat server. Please refer to the official documentation here for the version you want to install. Also note that the configurations discussed in this article are mainly applicable to Tomcat 8, but may not be applicable to earlier or later versions. Thus, if you change any of the Tomcat server’s configuration files, you need to restart the server. TOMCAT_ROOT_DIR\webapps is the directory, where the webapps you place in the server are stored.Īll Tomcat server related configurations from above folders are read at the server’s start-up.TOMCAT_ROOT_DIR\logs is the directory, where the log files are stored by default. ![]() We will talk about web.xml configuration file located in this folder. The files in this folder are used for the server level performance tuning, security, load balancing, etc. TOMCAT_ROOT_DIR\conf is the directory that contains configuration files and related to those files DTDs (Document Type Definition).TOMCAT_ROOT_DIR\bin is the directory, where server startup, shutdown, and other scripts are located.By default both folders refer to the single Tomcat server installation. In addition, Tomcat server can be configured for multiple instances by defining $CATALINA_BASE for each instance of the Tomcat server. TOMCAT_ROOT_DIR (known as $CATALINA_HOME, where catalina is the project name of the Tomcat server) is the directory where you have placed Apache Tomcat folder, e.g.Below are critical directories for the Tomcat: Note that in this article we use Windows specific directory path separator “\”, which is different from the one used on Linux like systems. JDK 7 for Windows 7 64-bit was installed and configured. In this example 64-bit Windows 7 Professional SP1 was used. In this example we will talk about Apache Tomcat Servlet/JSP container version 8.0.20 that implements the Servlet 3.1 and JavaServer Pages 2.3 specifications. There are many versions of the Tomcat server.
