Setting Tomcat Installation Properties

The Installation property sheet enables you to edit the attributes of a Tomcat web server. Each Tomcat 4.0.x web server instance is installed in a home directory, such as c:\tomcat4, which contains a server.xml configuration file, common libraries, and web module code. When you install the IDE, an installation of Tomcat 4.0.4 called Internal is added automatically. This installation cannot be removed. You can also configure the IDE to deploy web modules to external installations of Tomcat. See Adding a Tomcat 4.0.x Installation for more information.

Tomcat 3.x versions are not supported. This version of the IDE has been thoroughly tested with Tomcat 4.0.4. Use Tomcat versions other than 4.0.4 at your own risk.

  1. On the Runtime tab of the Explorer, expand the Installed Servers node in the Server Registry.
  2. Expand the Tomcat 4.0.x node, then right-click on the appropriate installation node. Note that the Internal node represents the default installation that is added when you install the IDE.
  3. Choose Properties from the contextual menu.
