Thanks for everyones oppinion. The idea for creating the instruction to create a Windows installer was mine in the first place. This was because we we’re running GeoServer on a Windows Server (requirement).
As I don’t have knowledge of Tomcat, this was/is the way to go for me. Also new Windows users would have a very simple ‘setup’ to get going with GeoServer on Windows. But when most of the Windows users don’t use the installer but use TomCat with the war file, it might be a nice addition to the manual to talk about how to se tup Tomcat for use with the GeoServer war? This way new Windows user have a low-level way of getting things going, without the need for an installer… Regards, Ronald Hoek Application Developer [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [email-ca-logo.png] [email-groene-balk] ComponentAgro B.V.

I find a windows installer is sometimes required to fit in with a customer's managed windows environment policies. Where everything needs an installer that can be run headless and managed from some admin console somewhere. I am sure the same policy could be met with a windows installer that adds the war to the tomcat webapps folder :) So while I understand this requirement, I just do not have a customer with this requirement at present... -- Jody Garnett On Thu, 16 Jan 2020 at 07:26, Olyster <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi, If I may ... We are using Geoserver with windows in production environment for a few years now (I work for a ministry so it's not a small/basement company !) and I have to say that the installation using the .war file in a tomcat container is the way to go : Very good performances, backups and upgrades are easier since you just have to take a copy of a folder. You can also have several Geoserver instances on the same machine. I wouldn't use Geoserver on windows otherwise. No need to use windows installer.
