2.1 Deciding How to Install Tomcat on NetWare

You can install the public instance of Tomcat during or after the NetWare installation. (The administration instance of Tomcat is installed by default.) During the installation process, you can include Tomcat in your NetWare installation in two different configurations parallel to the way Apache is installed: a preconfigured server (the Apache/Tomcat Server pattern) and an independent component (the Tomcat 4 Servlet Container component). For an overview of the installation process, see NW 6.5 SP8: Apache Web Server Administration Guide

After the NetWare installation has been completed, you can run the NetWare post-install program from the NetWare GUI and select the Tomcat 4 Servlet Container component.

After you have decided which installation option to use, see the NW65 SP8: Installation Guide for detailed installation instructions.

2.1.1 Installing the Administration Instance of Tomcat

As mentioned above, the administration instance of the Tomcat servlet container is installed by default during the NetWare installation. However, if for any reason you need to install it after you have installed NetWare, you can do so by running the NetWare post-installation program from the NetWare GUI or the NetWare Deployment Manager and then selecting Tomcat 4 Admin Instance.

For detailed information about installing products after installing NetWare, see Installing Products and Updates in the NW65 SP8: Installation Guide.
