In this folder a clientConfig.xml is required to configure a stand alone or direct database access client. In the following code snippet the configuration of a Stand alone client can be seen. The tomcat process should have write permissions to the Region_Home directory. The clientConfig.xml file should be readable by Tomcat.

 

Code Block
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<clientConfiguration 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/clientConfig.xsd">
	<clientType>Stand alone</clientType>
</clientConfiguration>

 

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 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. A filter configured in hte FewsPiService.properties overrules the default filter in the Filters.xml.

 

Code Block
FILTER_ID=All

 

N.B.: In versions 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 deployment options of Tomcat. See the tomcat deployment documentation for more information. When installing a new version of the FewsWebServices.war file it is recommended to restart tomcat after deployment.

Testing / use

The FEWS Web Services come with a testing page that can be accessed at: http://localhost:8080/FewsWebServices/. This leads to an overview page with links to test pages for the different services (SOAP, REST, WaterML, Digitale Delta and UmAquo). You can find more on how to configure the different services on 18 FEWS data exchange interfaces.

See Tomcat Installation as Windows Service usage for running the Web Services as a Windows service.
