luqman Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 (edited) As the title suggests, how do I deploy webswing applications on helionet tomcat server which I have enabled for my (tommy) account, given the fact that webswing requires us to add few lines to the catalina.properties file, for with I have no access.

wolstech Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Krydos would know whether this can be supported or not. Let's have him take a look. I suspect it's not going to work though considering webswing's site suggests it runs its own server process. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krydos Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 According to https://webswing.org/docs/version-2.5/install/install/ you need to install at least 5 packages as root, and instead of running through tomcat it's actually an executable that runs through java. None of that is going to work on a shared webserver. You'll need a vps to use webswing. Luckily for you we have recently begun selling vps if you're interested https://www.heliohost.org/vps/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily for you we have recently begun selling vps if you're interested https://www.heliohost.org/vps/ Actually, I have done a mini project (titled student semester management system) for my semester in java swings with mysql as the backend (hosted on a different free hosting site), and in hope that more students and faculties benefit from this project, I had intended to use webswing to make it available on the Internet by means of this platform.Hence I'm not keen to pay for a VPS, for such a small endeavor. Thank you for your help. PS: Did you check this: https://webswing.org/docs/version-2.5/install/tomcat/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krydos Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 No, I hadn't seen that. I guess I only clicked your first link. It may work then. What happens when you deploy webswing-server.war? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens when you deploy webswing-server.war?Thank you for your dedication.I get an http status 500 error, containing: "Invalid system property webswing.warLocation: Path not specified".(The link is: http://ssms.heliohost.org/webswing-server/)I think this has to do with the addition to the catalina file that is supposed to be made. Edit: now I get an http status 500 error, containing: "Invalid system property webswing.configFile: File /tmp/hsperfdata_nobody/webswing.config or /tmp/hsperfdata_nobody/webswing.config not found." So i tried creating "/home1/luqman/tmp/hsperfdata_nobody/" path containing the webswing.config file, but the same error persists.

Krydos Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 One of the rules we have regarding java is they have to be contained and not affect other users on the server. Unfortunately this webswing thing doesn't play nice in a multiuser environment. Like I was saying you'll need to figure something else out, or install this on a vps.
