Deployment in Tomcat 6.0
Deploy the 'war'
file of your application in ?<ARTIFACTORY_INSTALLATION
Once the application is deployed successfully, the web application requires the following information:
- Database location to store artifacts
- Artifactory config xml file location
- Backup folder location
To specify all the above three information, a single configuration is used. We only need to specify the artifactory installation folder location during Tomcat startup and artifactory does all the rest task by itself. There is another approach, that is, setup the connection to the derby database using jdbc and configure artifactory in the web application (by including artifactory.config.xml in the web application).
We can use the environment variable to specify
the location of the artifactory installation folder. In case of Windows, we can add it to Tomcat startup
options and Configure Tomcat by specifying the installation folder to the
Java Options.
-Dartifactory.home=<artifactory-install-directory> e.g. -Dartifactory.home=D:\artifactory-1.2.2\artifactory-1.2.2
