Tomcat

Tomcat

Java web applications require an appropriate J2EE runtime environment. ICEfaces applications require support for servlets and JavaServer Pages (JSP). Tomcat is a popular choice for this type of development because the ICEfaces code has been extensively tested on Tomcat.

Tomcat is available from the Apache Jakarta Project at:

http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/

Download and install Tomcat 5.x according to the instructions provided with the software. Although it is possible to run ICEfaces applications in other standard J2EE containers, all the instructions provided in this guide refer to Tomcat. You should be able to use any 5.x version of Tomcat (either 5.0.x or 5.5.x).

Once Tomcat is successfully installed, follow the instructions to start the server. This will differ depending on what platform you are using.
