Navigation:  How to... > Create a new WebOffice Application inside Apache Tomcat

If you want to create a new WebOffice 10 R3 application inside Apache Tomcat, please follow the steps below:

•Stop Apache Tomcat

 

 

•Go to your Tomcat webapps-directory (e.g. C:\Tomcat\webapps)

 

 

•Copy the folder of your WebOffice 10 R3 application (e.g. WebOffice) and paste it in the same folder using a different name (e.g. WebOffice_testing)

 

 

•Adjust the Apache Connector configuration to forward requests from IIS Port 80 to Apache Tomcat Port 8080 by adding the newly created WebOffice 10 R3 application in C:\Tomcat\conf\uriworkermap.properties.

 

 

•In WebOffice author adjust the Basic Settings of an existing application (e.g. WebOffice) to fit to the new WebOffice 10 R3 application (e.g. WebOffice_testing), assign a new name and save it.

oWorking directory

oWebOffice application URL

oSave as a new application profile

 

Note: See chapter Managing Application Profiles for detailed information about application profiles.

 

 

•If necessary, create a new usermanagement admin profile within the existing usermanagement database inside C:\wwwroot\UserManagementAdmin\web.config or create a new usermanagement scheme for your new WebOffice 10 R3 application (e.g. an MS Access database WebOffice_testing).

 

Note: Detailed information about the configuration of the file web.config can be found in Configure the file Web.config.

Note: Detailed information about creating a usermanagement database can be found in Create a Usermanagement Database.

Note: If you want to work with two WebOffice 10 R3 application but only one usermanagement database, see chapter Work with two Applications and one UserManagement DB.

 

 

 

•In case, a new usermanagement database was created, adjust the application configuration to fit to your new WebOffice 10 R3 application, e.g. which usermanagement authentification type is to be used and how to connect to it.

 

Note: Find more information about usermanagement configuration inside the application configuration in Configuration and DB Connection Information for Read Access.

 

 

 

•In order to use the full-text search for the new WebOffice 10 R3 application, you need to create a second FTS-Index application as well.

 

Note: One search index application can only be used from one WebOffice 10 R3 application! If you want to use the full-text search for several WebOffice 10 R3 applications you have to install an own search index application for each WebOffice 10 R3 application. (e. g. FTS-Index1, FTS-Index2)

 

Therefore, copy your existing search index application (e.g. C:\Tomcat\webapps_custom\FTS-Index), rename it (e.g. FTS-Index_testing) and follow the steps described in chapter How to configure a Full-Text Search to adjust all important parameters. Be sure to work in your newly created application profile (e.g. WebOffice_testing), when editing the application configuration.

 

 

•In case a WebOffice output directory was configured in the WebOffice 10 R3 application that has been copied, you need to adjust it for the second application by adding a new virtual output directory in IIS. Then adapt the application configuration of the new WebOffice 10 R3 application to the new virtual output directory.
