IBM Tivoli Composite Application Agent for J2EE, Version 7.1.1

Configuration steps for Tomcat servers

The following steps are specific for Tomcat application servers.

Enter the following information:

The Tomcat server home directory
The Java™ home directory
Important: On HP-UX or Solaris systems, select the Use JDK as 64 bit check box if you are using a 64-bit JDK.
The way Tomcat starts up: Normal Startup (with a startup script), Using Java Wrapper, or Using Windows Service
For Normal Startup select the Tomcat startup script file. For Using Java Wrapper, select the Java Service Wrapper startup file and configuration file. For Using Windows Service, enter the Windows service name.

Click Next.

For the subsequent configuration steps, see Final configuration steps.

Important: To support cascading configuration files in the java service wrapper framework, the base directory of the java service wrapper needs to be specified. This enables a user to define a relative path for an included configuration file. By default, the base-directory is the location of the wrapper.exe in Windows, or the script used to launch the wrapper in Unix. If the wrapper.working.dir property is defined in the java service wrapper configuration file, ITCAM will use the value of the property as the base directory.

The java service wrapper configuration file is similar to the java properties file. It contains the information necessary to launch a JVM instance with the correct command line required by an application. The default file is wrapper.conf. When you configure Tomcat to use the java service wrapper, ITCAM creates a new file called itcam_wrapper.conf in the same directory as wrapper.conf. This file includes all ITCAM configuration items. The wrapper.conf file references the itcam_wrapper.conf file using an include statement.
