Challenge: Set up an open source Tomcat application
(bright music) - [Instructor] Now that we've seen how to deploy a simple application, let's try a challenge. Find and set up an open-source application that ships as a war file. I'm going to be setting up Jenkins, which I've already talked about a little bit. I chose Jenkins because it takes care of a lot of the non-Tomcat details with an interactive installer that shows up once you got the application installed. If you don't want to do Jenkins, OpenCms is another interesting option, although, perhaps a bit more difficult. Just choose HSQLDB as your database. If you'd like more of a challenge and feel comfortable setting up an external database, try the .war distribution of XWiki as another example. One thing to be aware of is that a lot of job apps these days ship as an all in one installer, so they'll try to install Tomcat or Jetty and configure it for you, which isn't really what we're going for in this course.
