Please note that some Imaging Knowledge Center component downloads are in ".RAR" and ".WAR" archive file compression formats.
RAR is a proprietary archive file format that supports data compression, error recovery, and file spanning. Both proprietary and free programs are available for accessing such files. A tutorial on accessing .RAR files, including a free extractor, is available at: http://howtoopenararfile.com/
WAR files (short for Web application Archive) are Java archive files used for packaging and distribution of Web applications. .WAR files often contain a collection of JavaServer Pages, Java Servlets, Java classes, XML files, tag libraries, and static Web pages (HTML and related files).
- More information on WAR files can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAR_file_format_(Sun).
- For background information on Java Web applications see: http://onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2001/03/15/tomcat.html. 
For a specific guide to implementing the AIM Template Creator software and deploying .WAR files, see the AIM Template Software Setup Manual: https://gforge.nci.nih.gov/frs/download.php/9167/AIMTemplateSoftwareSetup.zip
