4 - Running the Tomcat Manager

  1. Run the startup.bat file located in the TomcatBaseDirectory/bin directory to start the Apache Tomcat server.
  2. Open a web browser and run the Tomcat Manager: http://localhost:8080/manager/html. This URL may be different depending on your Tomcat installation (server name and/or port may be different).
  3. Enter the manager name and password as defined in the step 3 of the section 2 - Installing Apache Tomcat.

  4. Scroll down to deploy directory or WAR file located on the server, and enter the location of the rpm.xml file in the XML Configuration file URL text box.
    Note: The format of the URL: file:///C:/tmpwars/rpm.xml where rpm.xml is located in the c:\tmpwars directory. If you are using Tomcat V5.5 you must type the context path (for example, /rpm) in the Context Path field.

  5. Click Deploy. You should see that the RPM Web Services API (RPMWS) is running at the “/rpm” path.

  6. You can start using the Web Services API.
