tar xvzf apache-tomcat-7.0.2.tar.gz -C /usr/tomcat7 cd /usr/tomcat7 mv * .. cd .. rm -rf apache-tomcat-7.0.2.tar.gz

edit tomcat-users.xml and put:

Create environment variable CATALINA_HOME:

CATALINA_HOME="/usr/tomcat7" echo $CATALINA_HOME export CATALINA_HOME

start it:

cd bin . startup.sh

access it:

http://myIP:1453
  • upload the .war file for the application: ts.war, must include the /WEB-INF/lib

wsdl:

http://myIP:1453/ts/ts?wsdl

Run Tomcat as a service:

#!/bin/sh
#Startup script for the Jakarta Tomcat Java Servlets and JSP server
#
#chkconfig: - 85 15
#description: Jakarta Tomcat Java Servlets and JSP server

Set its ownership and access rights:

chown root:root /etc/rc.d/init.d/tomcat7
