Deploying the BIRT Viewer Toolkit WAR file
This section discusses deploying a BIRT Viewer Toolkit WAR file. For example purposes, deployment on Tomcat 6 is shown.
To deploy the WAR file on an application server other than Tomcat 6, use your application server’s deployment tools. If your application server does not have deployment tools, add the BIRT Viewer Toolkit context root to your application server. Typically, you modify the application server's configuration file.
Deploying the WAR file on Apache Tomcat
Perform the steps in the following procedure to deploy the WAR file by putting it in the /webapps directory.
1 Stop the Apache Tomcat service.
2 Copy the renamed BIRT Viewer Toolkit WAR file from the working directory to the /webapps directory of your Tomcat installation files, as shown in
Figure 2‑2.

3 Start Tomcat.
The Tomcat log confirms the deployment of the WAR file and the location of the /temp directory that you created earlier.
Figure 2‑3 shows an example of a Tomcat log file on Linux.
