WebClient and Tomcat Configuration

Posted by mikeperkin on 10-Mar-2011 18:57

I'm testing WebClient (10.2B) using Tomcat. I have managed to get the Tomcat JSE and AIA up and running, but am now having problems getting the deployment of the application and the WebClient executable working. I have created the webclient folder and it's subfolders in the TOMCAT_HOME/webapps folder and am using the following URL: http://localhost:8080/webclient. When I try the deployment using the bootstrap.htm I get an error in the browser saying that "The requested resource (/webclient/wc_exec/bootstrap.htm) is not available.

Any tips on what I am not doing or might have done wrong would be welcome!

Thanks

Mike

Following on from the previous post, I have also tried using IIS (running Windows 7) and am also not getting anywhere - error message saying that the web page cannot be displayed. Any suggestions on that front would also be welcome!

Thanks

Mike

Mike,

The resurce /webclient/wc_exec/bootstrap.htm seems unusual ... where is the wc_exec part of the path coming from?

I have a webclient on windows 7, and just dropped it into Tomcat, and they both worked, but they dont have the wc_eexec bit.

Mark.

Hi Mark

I basically followed the steps as per the WebClient training course, which tells you to set up two directories below a root directory. One is for deploying the executable and the other for the app.

Mike,

Sorry for the delay in responding ...

I have the following structure behing the Tomcat server (and regular http server)

C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\webapps\webclient - under this directory I copy allthe files from from the OpenEdge\webclient\web_image directory

C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\webapps\application - this directory contains the latest version of the app (1.2.00) ... copy the APP.prowcapc file from 1.2.00 to the application directory

The 2 URL's used by the users are

http://server:8080/webclient/webclient.htm

http://server:8080/application/APP.prowcapc

I also have the WSA and AiA installed under Tomcat (my main reason for having it), and can assist if you are having problems with them as well.

Hope this helps.

Mark.

Hi Mark

I eventually managed to figure out what I was doing wrong, and have got it going. Thanks for your help.

Mike
