INSTALLATION
1. Requires Java 1.6 or higher
2. Requires Tomcat 6 or higher
3. Create a working directory for the application, for example
C:/registry
Then create two sub-directories under this directory
C:/registry/work
C:/registry/download
4. Populate the application directory with the source format XML files
4a. You can download these from
https://github.com/rcking/formatxmlrepository
Unpack the container to the application directory (e.g. "C:/registry") Rename the new subdirectory from (for example)
C:/registry/rcking-formatxmlrepository-0f9fc13
to
C:/registry/formatxmlrepository
4b. Alternatively, if you have GIT installed, go to the application directory (e.g. "/registry") and execute
git clone https://github.com/rcking/formatxmlrepository.git
5. Copy registry.war to the WEBAPPS directory of your Tomcat installation
6. Edit the WEB-INF/classes/registry.properties file in order to point to the application directories
You can either edit this directly in the war archive, or you can unpack the war archive into the Tomcat webapps directory and then edit the properties file.
formatxmlpath=C:/registry/formatxmlrepository
outputxmlpath=C:/registry/work
downloadpath=C:/registry/download
Note that it is important that these three directories be different!
7. Start Tomcat; the application should be available under
http://localhost:8080/registry/
