\subsection{GNV-WebClient} The last step of the installationprcess is to install the WebClient called GNV-Client. The GNV-Client is a web Application ARchive (WAR) which has to be published via Apache Tomcat. \subsubsection*{Installation} Make sure, the Apache Tomcat is stopped. Deploying the WAR-file\footnote{There are several ways of deployment in Apache Tomcat. Background information can be found at \url{http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/deployer-howto.html}}: \begin{lstlisting} cp -i gnv-\$VERSION.war /usr/share/tomcat5.5/webapps/gnv.war # Start Tomcat: /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 start \end{lstlisting} \subsubsection*{Configuration} \label{ref:webclient-config} As default, the GNV-Client looks for an artifact-server running on \verb+ http://localhost:8181/+. If this address needs not to be changed, there is nothing to do to considering the execution environment. If the address of the artifact-server has been changed (c.f. chapter~\ref{ref:artifact-server-install}, p.\pageref{ref:artifact-server-install}), it can be adapted in the file {\tt WEB-INF/web.xml} for the parameter name \verb+de.intevation.gnv.artifactdatabase.client.ArtifactDatabase.url.1+. As default log information is written into the file \verb+/usr/share/tomcat5.5/logs/gnv.log+. The log level can be adjusted in the file \verb+WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties+. For further instructions look into the file. {\em Hint: The changes need to be done within the compressed war-file because of the deployment mechanism of Apache Tomcat in case of a restart. Keep in mind to repackage the war-file for a solution surveiving a restart of Tomcat.} \subsubsection*{Test of the Installation} Testing the installation via Apache WebServer, mod\_jk and Apache Tomcat: \begin{lstlisting} curl "http://localhost/gnv/start.do" -o gnv \end{lstlisting} The file \verb+gnv+ includes HTML describing the startpage of the GNV-WebClient.
