1 \subsection{GNV-WebClient}
2 The last step of the installationprcess is to install the WebClient called
3 GNV-Client. The GNV-Client is a web Application ARchive (WAR) which has to be published
4 via Apache Tomcat.

7 \subsubsection*{Installation}
8
9 Make sure, the Apache Tomcat is stopped. Deploying the
10 WAR-file\footnote{There are several ways of deployment in Apache Tomcat.
11 Background information can be found at
12 \url{http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/deployer-howto.html}}:
13 \begin{lstlisting}
14 cp -i gnv-\$VERSION.war /usr/share/tomcat5.5/webapps/gnv.war
15 # Start Tomcat:
16 /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 start
17 \end{lstlisting}

20 \subsubsection*{Configuration}
21 \label{ref:webclient-config}
22
23 As default, the GNV-Client looks for an artifact-server running on
24 \verb+ http://localhost:8181/+. If this address needs not to be changed,
25 there is nothing to do to considering the execution environment.
26
27 If the address of the artifact-server has been changed (c.f.
28 chapter~\ref{ref:artifact-server-install},
29 p.\pageref{ref:artifact-server-install}), it can be adapted in the file {\tt
30 WEB-INF/web.xml} for the parameter name
31 \verb+de.intevation.gnv.artifactdatabase.client.ArtifactDatabase.url.1+.
32
33 As default log information is written into the file
34 \verb+/usr/share/tomcat5.5/logs/gnv.log+. The log level can be adjusted
35 in the file \verb+WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties+. For further
36 instructions look into the file.
37
38 {\em Hint: The changes need to be done within the compressed
39 war-file because of the deployment mechanism of Apache Tomcat in case of
40 a restart. Keep in mind to repackage the war-file for a solution
41 surveiving a restart of Tomcat.}

44 \subsubsection*{Test of the Installation}
45
46 Testing the installation via Apache WebServer, mod\_jk and Apache Tomcat:
47 \begin{lstlisting}
48 curl "http://localhost/gnv/" -o gnv
49 \end{lstlisting}

51 The file \verb+gnv+ includes HTML describing the startpage of the
52 GNV-WebClient.
