Be aware that Tomcat 7 uses java 1.6 by default to compile JSPs. See information about tomcat below on how to configure it to use java 1.7 for JSPs. Tomcat 8 uses java 1.7 by default for JSPs. If you use another Servlet Contain please refer its documentation on this matter. |
Apache Maven 3.0.5+ (Java build tool)
...
- Apache Tomcat 7 or higher. Tomcat can be downloaded from the following location: http://tomcat.apache.org.
- Note that DSpace will need to run as the same user as Tomcat, so you might want to install and run Tomcat as a user called 'dspace'. Set the environment variable TOMCAT_USER appropriately.
- You need to ensure that Tomcat has a) enough memory to run DSpace and b) uses UTF-8 as its default file encoding for international character support. So ensure in your startup scripts (etc) that the following environment variable is set: JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx512M -Xms64M -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8"
Modifications in [tomcat]/conf/server.xml : You also need to alter Tomcat's default configuration to support searching and browsing of multi-byte UTF-8 correctly. You need to add a configuration option to the <Connector> element in [tomcat]/config/server.xml: URIEncoding="UTF-8"e.g. if you're using the default Tomcat config, it should read:
Code Block language html/xml <!-- Define a non-SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8080 --> <Connector port="8080" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75" enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100" connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" URIEncoding="UTF-8"/>
You may change the port from 8080 by editing it in the file above, and by setting the variable CONNECTOR_PORT in server.xml.
If you're using Tomcat 7 you have to change its default configuration to use Java 1.7 for JSP compilation. Tomcat 8 and above is using at least Java 1.7 for jsp compilation by default. In the configuration directory of your tomcat instance (${CATALINA_HOME}/conf in Tomcat notation) you should have a file called web.xml. Open this file, look for a servlet definition using the servlet-class org.apache.jasper.servlet.JSPServlet and add the two init parameters compilerSourceVM and compilerTargetVM as you see it in the example below. Then restart Tomcat.
Code Block language xml title ${CATALINA_BASE}/conf/web.xml <servlet> <servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet</servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>fork</param-name> <param-value>false</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>xpoweredBy</param-name> <param-value>false</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>compilerSourceVM</param-name> <param-value>1.7</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>compilerTargetVM</param-name> <param-value>1.7</param-value> </init-param> <load-on-startup>3</load-on-startup> </servlet>
- Jetty or Caucho Resin DSpace will also run on an equivalent servlet Engine, such as Jetty (http://www.mortbay.org/jetty/index.html) or Caucho Resin (http://www.caucho.com/). Jetty and Resin are configured for correct handling of UTF-8 by default.
