This section describes how to use the FEWS Web Services if it has been installed as a Windows service and using using the tomcat manager application to deploy the webservice. For the latest information on installations instructions for a specific Tomcat version, please refer to the Tomcat documentation itself.
To use the tomcat manager application, create a user and pass in "${catalina.home}/conf/tomcat-users.xml" for the role manager-gui, for example:
<role rolename="manager-gui"/> <user username="admin" password="pass" roles="manager-gui"/>
Please note that storing plain text passwords is not advised. Use password hashes to avoid this using the Tomcat digest capabilities. As an example take a look at the FEWS Web Services Tomcat Security page for more information.
Start the webservice on Windows via Windows Task Manager > Services > Apache tomcat >(right click)> Start.
Navigate in a webbrowser to http://localhost:8080, select the Manager App and log in with user you created during the Tomcat installation (see above).
Within the listed Applications, you'll find /FewsWebServices, which should already be running. The manager application can be used to stop the FewsWebServices, undeploy it or deploy a new version.
