Installing it as a war file

You can also install this application as a war file. For appservers that don't expand the war file by default this mode is the only mode available. You will have to change the following to deploy this as a war file.

Change aspire.properties with the following entries


# Change the configuration implementation to read
# from web app resources
request.ApplicationObjects.Config.className=\
com.ai.servlets.WebAppConfigWithIncludes1

# Write the log file outside of war
directories.workingdir=c:\\work
Logging.logfile=workingdir:\\log\\akc.log

#Provide a protocol reader for resource reads
aspire.resourcehandlers.aspire.classname=\
com.ai.servlets.AspireWebappResourceReader

Forcing war emulation mode

You can add an initialization servelet parameter to force web emulation


<servlet>
        <servlet-name>AppInitServlet</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>
            com.ai.servlets.AppInitServlet2
        </servlet-class>

            <param-name>AppConfigFilename</param-name>
