I need to use ARIS via Web browser using tomcat. The web client connection now needs to be set using tomcat web server
While installing business publisher I believe the tomcat has already been installed as I see in my ARIS installation directory, in the business publisher directory the tomcat folder.
Also the business publisher I am using is via port 9090 (default). I guess it is via tomcat as i see the tomcat home page
If I want to use ARIS via web client, will the same tomcat serve the purpose? or do i need to install another tomcat.
What are the steps I need to follow to configure my URL for accesing ARIS via web browser using tomcat. Is there any manual or documentation I can refer to?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Anupama,
you can use the Tomcat which is installed with ARIS Business Publisher to handle ARIS web client access.
You have to configure the Tomcat that the default home page of Tomcat is linked to the web client "index_apps.html":

Hi,
an example:
Apache Tomcat ARIS Business Publisher
arisclient.xml:
%ARISHOME71%\BPServer\tomcat\conf\Catalina\localhost\arisclient.xml
<Context path="/arisclient" docBase="D:\ARIS7.2\server\html" debug="0" reloadable="false" crossContxt="true"></Context>
web.xml:
ARISHOME\server\html\WEB-INF\web.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"

Hi Jens,
Thanks a billion for your help!!!.
I really appreciate your support. I am now able to access ARIS via webclient using tomcat
The web link after configuring tomcat, I got is
http://localhost:9090/arisclient/
where 9090 is the port we are using for business publisher and now for ARIS web client via tomcat.
However Just wanted to know if there is a way to customise this URL, I mean without the port number being displayed. eg : http://localhost/arisclient (without 9090 as above)
If yes then I would like to customise this before I pass on the link to the users.
Once again I thank you for all the support.
Thanks & Regards,
Anupama
