Compiling Tomcat code should be unnecessary. Using the Tcat Maven Publishing Plugin, application builds can be published directly into the Tcat Server repository as part of the build lifecycle. They can then be deployed to groups of Tomcat servers with a single click from Tcat Server's central web console.

For more complex Content Services installations, or if you wish to use an existing Tomcat application server, you can use the Web Archive WAR bundle to install Content Services on any platform.

For manual installation, you must ensure that the required software is installed on the machine. Install an instance of Tomcat manually and modify it to use the correct directory structure and files for Content Services.

By default, Tomcat uses an 8 KB header buffer size, which might not be large enough for the Kerberos authentication protocol. We need to increase this buffer size. You might want to connect from your front end load balancer with a different protocol, like AJP, or you might want to terminate TLS directly in Tomcat. In these cases, you need to add additional connectors to Tomcat. Follow the official Tomcat documentation for these use cases, and make sure to increase the maxHttpHeaderSize on these additional Connectors as well in case you plan to use Kerberos.

The repository allows you to provide extensions outside of the web application, known as simple JAR modules. If you want to enable this mechanism, follow these steps:. Copy the files alfresco.

XML files Deployment Descriptors [ weblogic. This way you can create a minimal and working web application for the weblogic application server and the same code can be used for Tomcat and JBoss, and there would be some little modifications may require for Websphere to make the same code to work.
