Setting Up the ActiveVOS Server

The ActiveVOS Server consists of the ActiveVOS engine running under Apache Tomcat. Tomcat is the servlet container that is used in the official Reference Implementation for the Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages technologies.

When you create a BPEL process and its deployment descriptor, you can deploy process resources directly to the running server. This allows you to execute and remote debug your processes.

To set up the server:

  1. Select the Servers view in the lower right of the workspace.
  2. Right-mouse click within the Servers view and select New>Server.
  3. In the Server type list, select ActiveVOS Server, and select Next.
  4. If the default HTTP and connector ports are already in use on your computer, you can change them on the Ports page and then click Finish.

The Console shows the Tomcat start-up activity, which completes within several seconds. At the end of start-up, you see a “server started” message for Tomcat.

After Tomcat is started, select the Start the Server icon in the Servers view for the ActiveVOS Server, as shown.

start the server

To view the Server Console, select the ActiveVOS Console icon in the Designer toolbar.

The default Console URL is http://localhost:8080/activevos.
