The root of the tomcat installation is referred to as "${catalina.home}" and will be used from here. The root of a tomcat installation can be recognized by the webapps and conf directories.

FEWS Installation

If Tomcat is succesfully installed, the FEWS installation can be done.

FEWS should be installed in the root folder of tomcat in the directory "${catalina.home}/fews/Region_Home".

The only requirement for running the FewsWebServices is that a default filter is configured in FEWS. This can be done in two different ways:

Configure a default filter in the Filters.xml of the FEWS configuration with the name of the filter that should be used for all web service requests. requested timeSeries: "${catalina.home}/fews/Region_Home/Config/RegionConfig/Filters.xml" 

Code Block
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<filters version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.wldelft.nl/fews" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.wldelft.nl/fews http://fews.wldelft.nl/schemas/version1.0/filters.xsd">
<defaultFilterId>All</defaultFilterId>
...

 

Alternatively a property file can be used to configure the default filter (and other properties as well). The property file should be located at: "${catalina.home}/fews/Region_Home/Config/PiClientConfigFiles/FewsPiService.properties". In the following code snippet the default filter to be used by the FEWS Web Services is configured using the property key "FILTER_ID" where the filter "All" has been configured. 

 

Code Block
FILTER_ID=All

 

N.B.: In version before FEWS 2017.02 it was possible to override the FewsPiService.properties with another name or location. This is no longer supported. Only one property file can be used for all services and the name is fixed to FewsPiService.properties.

If the previous configurations have been applied, the FewsWebServices.war can be installed using the standard installation deployment options of Tomcat. See the tomcat deployment documentation for more information.
