Installation/Usage

In order to use this software you need a Java servlet container like Tomcat. Use the built in deployment tools to upload the war file or copy it manually to the appropriate directory.

Troubleshooting

Some servlet containers come with pretty restrictive security policies. E.g. debian’s tomcat package by default doesn’t allow connections to external services. To enable external connections please edit /etc/default/tomcat5.5 and set “TOMCAT5.5_SECURITY” to “no”.

There are issues with JDK1.5 which prevent the servlet from working correctly. If you see messages like javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactoryConfigurationError: Provider org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl not found in your servlet container’s log here’s the solution:

JDK 1.5 doesn’t have xalan libraries and hence it throws this exception.

Copy the xalan.jar and serializer.jar, xercesImpl.jar, xml-apis.jar (this are needed as there are dependencies from xalan.jar) into the tomcat_home/common/endorsed folder.

If some of the jars are already present, there is no need to overwrite the files.

You can get the required files from the following website: http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/
