Hi Guys, 

I've been developing on a Tomcat/Openbd/CentOS install for several years 
now, and over time I kind of lost view of how I had everything setup. 

So I started over. I'm not trying to setup a multi-site configuration. This 
server will be setup for one specific app. 

I want to make sure I'm approaching this the right way and I'm putting 
stuff in the right place.  I'm building an indepth how to but before I 
publish it I want to validate my approach. My biggest concern is the 
difference between tomcat's web.xml and OpenBD's web.xml (which look to be 
the same document). 

1) Install CentOS
2) Install Tomcat  (installs to /tomcat) and verify it is working
3) DL and unpack OpenBD to /tomcat/webapps/openbd
4) delete openbd.war (must be deleted or it will unpack again after step 5 
and create another openbd folder)
5) rename /tomcat/webapps/openbd to /tomcat/webapps/myapp
6) Verify OpenBD is working


Important TomCat Config Files

/tomcat/conf/server.xml - this is the basic configuration of the webserver. 
The site is declared here as a virtual host and the location of the 
application's root folder is included as well. 

/tomcat/conf/web.xml - This is basic webapp configuration. Default 
documents and error pages are declared here.  


Important OpenBD Config Files

/tomcat/conf/webapps/myApp/WEB-INF/bluedragon/bluedragon.xml - this is the 
base openBD configuration file. This is where debug ips, search collections 
and datasources are defined. 

**/tomcat/conf/webapps/myApp/WEB-INF/web.xml - My understanding is that 
this is a webapp specific web.xml and most of what I declare in tomcat's 
web.xml could also be declared here instead? Can someone clarify? I think 
this web.xml would come into play if I was deploying multiple webapps and a 
'one size fits all' config in tomcat's web.xml wouldn't work. 




Thanks!

Once I'm certain I'm putting things in the right spot, I'll post my full 
CentOS+TOMCAT+OpenBD how to.
