1. Download the latest version of the LexEVS Analytical or Data Services ZIP file from the right. You have a choice between ZIP files tailored for JBoss or Apache Tomcat installations. The location you have chosen to save this on your computer will be referred to as the SAVE_DIRECTORY. Our command examples will use scratch as this directory.

2. Unzip the file or files you have downloaded to SAVE_DIRECTORY.

3. Shut down your application or servlet container. This presumes that you have already installed a web server as outlined in the Prerequisite Software. The command to do the shut down will be web server specific. See the documentation for your web server for information on how to do this. There may be many alternatives.
JBoss example:

• Windows:
  shutdown.bat -S
• Unix:
  ./shutdown.sh -S
  If you experience Java errors then the server may already be down.

4. Create a directory for the web archive.
Create a directory called wsrf.war inside the following directory:

{WEB_SERVER_HOME}\{DEPLOYMENT_HOME}

...where WEB_SERVER_HOME is your application server home directory
DEPLOYMENT_HOME is the Web Archive deployment directory for your application server
JBoss example:

• Windows:
  c:\jboss-4.0.5.GA\server\default\deploy
• Unix:
  /jboss-4.0.5.GA/server/default/deploy
  For example:
• Windows:
  mkdir wsrf.war
• Unix:
  mkdir wsrf.war

5. Unzip the wsrf.war file to the wsrf.war directory.
JBoss example:

• Windows:
  From: c:\scratch\wsrf.war
  To: c:\jboss-4.0.5.GA\server\default\deploy\wsrf.war
• Unix:
  From: /scratch/wsrf.war
  To: /jboss-4.0.5.GA/server/default/deploy\wsrf.war
  Windows does not see WAR files as compressed files, therefore you must obtain an unzip utility such as 7-zip or WinZip. In Unix you should be able to use the unzip command.

6. Download LexEVS_51_client.zip from the right. This is from the client for a Remote API install.

7. Unzip LexEVS_51_client.zip to the SAVE_DIRECTORY.

8. Copy the application-config-client.xml file out of the unzipped client and into the deployed wsrf.war directory structure.

copy {SAVE_DIRECTORY}\LexEVS_51_client\conf\application-config-client.xml {WEB_SERVER_HOME}\{DEPLOYMENT_HOME}\wsrf.war\WEB-INF\classes

...where SAVE_DIRECTORY is the location of the downloaded file. WEB_SERVER_HOME is your application server home directory. DEPLOYMENT_HOME is the Web Archive deployment directory for your application server.
JBoss example:

• Windows:
  copy c:\scratch\LexEVS_51_client\conf\application-config-client.xml c:\jboss-4.0.5.GA\server\default\deploy\wsrf.war\WEB-INF\classes
• Unix:
  copy /scratch/LexEVS_51_client/conf/application-config-client.xml c:/jboss-4.0.5.GA/server/default/deploy/wsrf.war/WEB-INF/classes

  Info
  title Note
  If you are repeating these steps for the other services WAR file then it will have its own separate application-config-client.xml file that will be similarly placed in the WEB-INF/classes folder of the exploded WAR file.

9. Edit the application-config-client.xml file. There are three lines where you need to have the proper URL as a value. The three lines are found:

1. in the EvsServiceInfo bean with this text <entry key="APPLICATION_SERVICE_URL"
2. in the AppService bean with this text <property name="serviceUrl"
3. (OPTIONAL) in the EvsAuthenticationProvider bean with this text <property name="serviceUrl"
   The values each have a URL like this:

   Code Block
   http://{SERVER_ADDRESS}/{WAR_FILE_DEPLOYED}/

   For each, you must change the SERVER_ADDRESS and WAR_FILE_DEPLOYED only.
   ...where SERVER_ADDRESS is the address of your server (domain and optionally the port number). WAR_FILE_DEPLOYED is the name of the WAR file you placed in the server directories for deployment.
   Example lines for the file:

   Code Block
   <entry key="APPLICATION_SERVICE_URL" value="http://localhost:8080/lexevsapi51/http/applicationService"/>}}

   Code Block
   {{<property name="serviceUrl" value="http://localhost:8080/lexevsapi51/http/applicationService"/>}}

   Code Block
   <property name="serviceUrl" value="http://localhost:8080/lexevsapi51/http/applicationService"/>

10. There are 8 JAR files that must be copied from the LexEVS Subversion repository to your application server's class path. Open a browser to here:
https://ncisvn.nci.nih.gov/svn/lexevs/base/v5/trunk/lexevs_service_cagrid/LexEVSAnalyiticalService/gs.lib/, and copy each of the JAR files to here:

{WEB_SERVER_HOME}\{LIB_HOME}

...where WEB_SERVER_HOME is your application server home directory. LIB_HOME is the server's library directory.
JBoss example:

• Windows:
  c:\jboss-4.0.5.GA\server\default\lib
• Unix:
  /jboss-4.0.5.GA/server/default/lib/
  Each service is in its own server. These files must be copied into each server. If your web application server supports it there may be a way to place a single set of these files into a common location for all your application servers.

  Info
  title Note
  Also, watch out for port conflicts by making sure you select an alternate range for binding the ports on a separate server. When the Data or Analytical Grid Services server runs at the same time they each must have unique port numbers to use.

11. Repeat these steps for the other service if you are doing them one at a time.
