The root of the tomcat installation is referred to as "${catalina.home}" and will be used from here. The root of a tomcat installation can be recognized by the webapps and conf directories.
Create a user and pass in "${catalina.home}"\conf\tomcat-users.xml for the role manager-gui, for example:
| Code Block |
|---|
<role rolename="manager-gui"/>
<user username="admin" password="pass" roles="manager-gui"/> |
FEWS Installation
If Tomcat is succesfully installed, the FEWS configuration installation can be done. FEWS itself (i.e. the bin\ folder) is packaged inside the FewsWebServices.war.
...
| 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> |
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 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 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
Start the webservice on Windows via Windows Task Manager > Services > Apache tomcat >(right click)> Start. 
Navigate in a webbrowser to localhost:8080, select the Manager App and log in with user you created during the Tomcat installation.
Within the listed Applications, you'll find FewsWebServices, which should already be running. The link /FewsWebServices leads to an overview page with links to test pages for the different services (SOAP, REST, etc).
