System requirements

The WSS service is delivered as a web archive file ('war') to be easily deployed in a Servlet container.

• Apache Tomcat 4.1, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0 (recommended and tested: 4.1.31 and 5.5.17)
• Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.4.x, 1.5, 1.6 (recommended and tested: 1.4.2 and 1.5)

Installation

• Download the latest 2.0.x version of the WSS application

  There are many ways to deploy a web application that comes as a war file. The recommended way is:

• Unzip the war file into an arbitrary directory on your host, afterwards called WSS_INSTALL_DIR.
• Stop Tomcat
• Create a Tomcat context file and save it to
  • <TOMCAT_HOME>/webapps/wss.xml for Tomcat 4 or
  • <TOMCAT_HOME>/conf/Catalina/localhost/wss.xml for Tomcat 5 and 6
• Copy the following files of <WSS_INSTALL_DIR>/WEB-INF/lib/ directory into <TOMCAT_HOME>/common/endorsed/:
  • xercesImpl-2.8.1.jar (version may differ slightly)
  • xalan-2.7.0.jar
  • xml-apis-1.3.04.jar
• Start Tomcat
