Web EEC installation and configuration

Before the Web EEC is installed and configured, you must stop the service of the Tomcat web server:

  1. Right-click the symbol of the Tomcat Monitor on the taskbar.
  2. Select Stop service from the context menu.
  3. The Web EEC is provided as a web archive with the file extension .war. This file format represents a JAR and / or ZIP archive, and can be opened and edited using a compression program, for example, 7-ZIP.

  4. Extract the file webec.war to a folder of the same name.
  5. Open the file \webec\WEB-INF\web.xml in an editor.
  6. Change the following configuration parameters:
  7. Configuration parameter Description
    com.mind8.formui.eox Name of the model EOX file without file extension. This information must match the information in the file ec.ini of the EEC Server.
    com.mind8.formui.perspective.object Path to the project component that contains the Form-UI to be displayed initially.
    com.mind8.formui.perspective.form-id The ID of the Form-UI to be displayed initially.
    com.mind8.formui.host Host of the EEC Server.
    com.mind8.formui.port Port of the EEC Server. This information must match the information in the file ec.ini of the EEC Server.
    com.mind8.formui.timeout Waiting time until a session-timeout is triggered after inactivity (in seconds).

    Note:

    The configurations section is commented out on start. The comment tags should be deleted before saving to make the configuration operative.

    Example of configuration:

    <web-app id="WebApp">
