Configuring FirstSpirit Embedded Tomcat Web Server for a web application (2023.9)

It is only possible to select the FirstSpirit Embedded Tomcat Web Server if a corresponding web server instance was previously added to the server. Control is supported by FirstSpirit and takes place automatically. Installation on the web server and registering the web components is handled by FirstSpirit

If a FirstSpirit Embedded Tomcat Web Server is to be activated for a project-specific web area, the following steps are required:

1. Select the entry from the combo box for the FirstSpirit Embedded Tomcat Web Server.
2. The Install button becomes active. This button copies the WAR file, which is automatically unpacked by the web server before the web components are registered.
3. After installation the configuration of the web area switches to the FirstSpirit Embedded Tomcat Web Server, which is then displayed as the active web server for this area.

The FirstSpirit Server recognizes if the version of the web applications on the FirstSpirit Server and the web server are not consistent (for example because the FirstSpirit Server has been updated), and will trigger an update.
