You can test whether you have the correct Java platform by running java -version:

Code Block
languagetext
~$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_25"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_25-b15)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.25-b01, mixed mode)

Installing Tomcat

TermWeb is a web application that requires an application server. Apache Tomcat is the recommended application server and can be downloaded here. Recommended version is 7.0 or later, but TermWeb also supports Tomcat 6.0.

The recommended installation directory is C:\tomcat. Tomcat's installation directory is referred to as <tomcat-install> in this documentation.

Configuring Tomcat

TermWeb need more heap space than the 64MB that is allocated to the Java virtual machine by default. The recommended value is 512MB or higher, but it should not exceed the amount of physical RAM available.

If Tomcat is not installed as a service:

  1. In <tomcat-install>/bin, open the setenv.bat file, or create a new file if it doesn't exist.
  2. Add or modify the line 

    Code Block
    languagetext
    set JAVA_OPTS="%JAVA_OPTS% -Xms128m -Xmx512m" 



If Tomcat is installed and running as a service:

  1. Open Start Menu > Apache Tomcat > Configure Apache Tomcat
  2. Select the Java tab
  3. Specify the following values:
  • Initial memory pool : 128
  • Maximum memory pool : 512

Your configuration should be similar to the screenshot below:
