DOWNLOAD TOMCAT
Our SOCR application shall run on Tomcat 4.01 (A Servlet Container).
After downloading the latest version of Tomcat from http://www.java.sun.com/products/servlet/download.html#implementations, 
install the software and restart the computer.

DOWNLOAD SOURCE FILES
Copies of the SOCR source file can be obtain from our home page in Geocities.
Simply copy and paste the web address below onto the address bar and then save the file on the desktop.

UNZIP SOCR.ZIP
By using any decompress application with .zip extension support, unzip socr.zip into the directory TOMCAT_HOME/webapp.

SETTING UP TOMCAT
When the socr application is accessed, Tomcat 4.01 will automatically unpack socr.war into the directory TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/socr and add the application's context to the server startup file. The hostname of the server is default to local host and the default server��s port for Tomcat is 8080.

START TOMCAT
To start the server, execute the Unix-based shell script or the Windows-based batch file that Tomcat provides in the directory TOMCAT_HOME/bin.
For Unix: % startup.sh
For Windows: c:\TOMCAT_HOME\bin> startup
Once Tomcat is executing, try out our socr system opening the socr.html file.
Calling a Servlet from a web browser must follow the following format:
http://machine-name:port/Context-root/Servlet-name

STOP TOMCAT
Use the following shut-down command to stop the server:
For Unix: % shutdown.sh
For Windows: c:\TOMCAT_HOME\BIN> shutdown
