Apache Tomcat
Downloading pre-Installed Package
Now Once You have downloaded Apache Tomcat … Just copy this zip file
(if needed) according to your project requirements,, and simply extract it
(unzip) …
 Apache Tomcat is a Web Application Server, which would contain your
web application and you would execute your web application through
Apache Tomcat Services …
Apache Tomcat
Deployment Demonstration
Just for a sample demonstration, let’s say, we move the apachetomcat bundle into E drive of the computer, and extract the zip file
Apache Tomcat
Setting Tomcat Environmental Variable

Right Click on your “My Computer”
Click on “Properties” option

System Properties Dialog box would be
Displayed  click on “Advance” Tab
 Click on “Environmental Variable”
Apache Tomcat
Setting Tomcat Environmental Variable
The Environmental Dialogue box would be displayed
Under the “User Variable” Section

__________________________
“New User Variable” dialogue would
be displayed …
Set the values as
name = TOMCAT_HOME
value = <Tomcat_Path>
Please note that name is case-sensitive,
and value is the path of your Tomcat Installation
Apache Tomcat
Directory Structure
These are some of the key tomcat directories:
• /bin - Startup, shutdown, and other scripts. The *.sh files (for Unix systems) are
functional duplicates of the *.bat files (for Windows systems). Since the Win32
command-line lacks certain functionality, there are some additional files in here.
• /conf - Configuration files and related DTDs. The most important file in here is
server.xml. It is the main configuration file for the container.
• /logs - Log files are here by default.
• /webapps - This is where your webapps go.

Directory Structure
Further exploring the bin subdirectory,, it contains various scripts
and files,, but the important files are “startup.bat” and
“shutdown.bat” batch files, which starts and stops the Tomcat
services … (for convenience, it is recommended to save the shortcut of
these two batch files to Desktop, just to avoid browsing through \bin folder
time and again)
Apache Tomcat
Directory Structure
Further exploring the \webapps sub-folder, following is it’s normal
directory structure, this is the place where we normally place (paste)
our web-application projects ….
Apache Tomcat
Deployment Demonstration
Starting the Tomcat Web Application Service
 Click on the shortcut icon of the startup.bat
a new console window would appear and would auto-execute some commands
and information … If The Tomcat is configured successfully, the messages within
the console window would be ending on a statement like
INFO: Server startup in XXXX ms
Apache Tomcat
Deployment Demonstration
Now Open any browser (IE, Firefox or any other)
And type any of the following address
http://localhost:8080
http://127.0.0.1:8080
http://your_computer_name:8080
http://your_computer_ip:8080
If you are on the same computer machine, where Apache Tomcat is
running, all 4 options would work, but the last two are handy, when you are
looking to access your web-application from another computer which is
having (somehow) access to the computer where Tomcat service is running
..
Apache Tomcat
Deployment Demonstration
Please note that ROOT folder, under the \webapps folder is the default
Tomcat Project, which means that if we do not specify which project (placed
under the \webapps folder) it would by-default access the contents of ROOT
folder … and the page displayed would be like following ..
