Installing Metacat requires a server running an SQL92 compliant database |
|
| 264 |
(Oracle 8i or Postgresql recommended) with at least 128MB RAM, and a Pentium III class |
|
| 265 |
processor or higher. The amount of disk space required depends on the |
|
| 266 |
size of your RDBMS tablespace (which should be at least 10 MB, |
|
| 267 |
however Metacat itself requires only about 1 MB of free space after |
|
| 268 |
installation). These instructions assume a Linux environment but may |
|
| 269 |
work on other UNIX type environments, however this has not been tested. |

The server on which you wish to install Metacat must have the following |
|
| 275 |
software installed and running correctly before attempting to install |
|
| 276 |
Metacat. |
|
| 277 |

has been tested most extensively with <a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/">J2SE 5.0</a> |
|
| 295 |
and this is the recommended version. |
|
| 296 |
Make sure that JAVA_HOME environment variable is properly set and that both |
|
| 297 |
java and javac are on your PATH. |

<a name="AdditionalSoftwareOracle"></a><div class="header2">Oracle 8i</div> |
|
| 300 |
<p>The Oracle RDBMS must be installed and running as a daemon on the system. |
|
| 301 |
In addition the JDBC listener must be enabled. You can enable it by |
|
| 302 |
logging in as your Oracle user and typing the following:</p> |
|
| 303 |
|
|
| 304 |
<div class="code">lsnrctl start</div> |
|
| 305 |
|
|
| 306 |
<p>Your instance should have a table space of at least 5 MB (10 MB or higher |
|
| 307 |
recommended). You should also have a username specific to Metacat |
|
| 308 |
created and enabled. This user must have most normal permissions |
|
| 309 |
including CREATE SESSION, CREATE TABLE, CREATE INDEX, CREATE TRIGGER, |
|
| 310 |
EXECUTE PROCEDURE, EXECUTE TYPE, etc. If an action is unexplainably |
|
| 311 |
rejected by Metacat it is probably because the user permissions are not |
|
| 312 |
correctly set.</p> |

<a name="AdditionalSoftwarePostgreSQL"></a><div class="header2">PostgreSQL</div> |
|
| 315 |
<p>PostgreSQL can be easily installed on most linux distributions and on |
|
| 316 |
Windows (using cygwin) and Mac OS X. Using Fedora Core or RedHat Linux, |
|
| 317 |
you can install the rpms for postgres and then run </p> |
|
| 318 |
|
|
| 319 |
<div class="code">/etc/init.d/postgresql start</div> |
|
| 320 |
|
|
| 321 |
<p>in order to start the database. |
|
| 322 |
On Ubuntu and other Debian-based Linux distributions, you can use the apt-get command |
|
| 323 |
to install postgres: |
|
| 324 |
<div class="code">sudo apt-get install postgresql-8.0</div> and |
|
| 325 |
then run |
|
| 326 |
<div class="code">/etc/init.d/postgresql-8.0 start</div> to start. |
|
| 327 |
|
|
| 328 |
This initializes the data files. You need to do a bit of configuration |
|
| 329 |
to create a database and set up a user account and allow internet access |
|
| 330 |
via jdbc. See the postgres documentation for this, but here is a quick |
|
| 331 |
start: |
|
| 332 |
<ul> |
|
| 333 |
<li>Switch to the "postgres" user account |
|
| 334 |
<div class="code">sudo su - postgres</div></li> |
|
| 335 |
<li>Edit "data/pg_hba.conf", adding the following line to the file:<br> |
|
| 336 |
<div class="code">host metacat metacat 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 password</div> |
|
| 337 |
If your host uses IPv6 addresses, you may need this line instead: |
|
| 338 |
<div class="code">host metacat metacat ::1 ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff password</div></li> |
|
| 339 |
<li>If you are using Postgresql pre-8.0, you must edit the "data/postgres.conf" file and uncomment and edit the line |
|
| 340 |
starting with "tcpip_socket" so that it reads |
|
| 341 |
<div class="code">tcpip_socket = true</div></li> |
|
| 342 |
<li>Create metacat database by typing: |
|
| 343 |
<div class="code">createdb metacat</div></li> |
|
| 344 |
<li>Log in using the postgres account and create a new "metacat" user account by typing: |
|
| 345 |
<div class="code">psql metacat</div> |
|
| 346 |
<ul> |
|
| 347 |
<li>In postgres, run <div class="code">CREATE USER metacat WITH UNENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'apasswordyoulike';</div></li> |
|
| 348 |
<li>This creates a new account called metacat on the database named metacat</li> |
|
| 349 |
<li>Note: there are many ways to do this, so others such as using |
|
| 350 |
ENCRYPTED passwords will work fine.</li> |
|
| 351 |
</ul> |
|
| 352 |
</li> |
|
| 353 |
<li>Exit the postgres account back to root and restart the postgres |
|
| 354 |
database by typing: |
|
| 355 |
<div class="code">/etc/init.d/postgresql restart</div></li> |
|
| 356 |
<li>Test logging into the postgres db using the metacat account with |
|
| 357 |
the following command: |
|
| 358 |
<div class="code">psql -U metacat -W -h localhost metacat</div></li> |
|
| 359 |
</ul> |
|
| 360 |
</p> |
|
| 361 |
|
|
| 362 |
<a name="AdditionalSoftwareAnt"></a><div class="header2">Ant</div> |
|
| 363 |
<p> |
|
| 364 |
Ant is a Java based build application similar to Make on UNIX systems. |
|
| 365 |
It takes in installation parameters from a file in the root installation |
|
| 366 |
directory named "build.xml". The Metacat CVS module contains a default |
|
| 367 |
build.xml file that may require some modification upon installation. Ant |
|
| 368 |
should be installed on the system and the "ant" executable shell script |
|
| 369 |
should be available in the users path. The latest metacat release was tested with |
|
| 370 |
Ant 1.6.5. <!-- We note that the current build is |
|
| 371 |
not working with Ant 1.6.x, so you'll need to use an earler version. We have |
|
| 372 |
successfully used Ant 1.5.1, 1.5.2, and some earlier versions. --> |

Install Tomcat into the directory of your choice. The directory in which |
|
| 378 |
you install Tomcat itself will be referred to as the <tomcat_home>. |
|
| 379 |
We recommend that you install Tomcat version 5.5. If you are running |
|
| 380 |
Ubuntu/Debian, you can get Tomcat by typing:</p> |
|
| 381 |
<div class="code">sudo apt-get install tomcat5.5</div> |
|
| 382 |
Otherwise, you can get Tomcat from <a href=" http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/index.html">the Apache Tomcat page</a>. |

<a name="DownloadingMetacat"></a><div class="header1">Download Metacat and Get War File</div> |
|
| 386 |
<p>There are several ways to wind up with a Metacat war file, which is needed for |
|
| 387 |
installation. These are: </p> |
|
| 388 |
<ul> |
|
| 389 |
<li>Download Metacat binary distribution - which will have a pre-built war file.</li> |
|
| 390 |
<li>Download Metacat source distribution - which will then need to be built in order to create a war file.</li> |
|
| 391 |
<li>Download Metacat source from SVN - which will then need to be built in order to create a war file.</li> |
|
| 392 |
</ul> |
|
| 393 |
<p>Since downloading the binary distribution is the easiest and most common install, it |
|
| 394 |
will be discussed here in detail. Links to source download/build instructions are also |
|
| 395 |
included in case you would like to go that route.</p> |

| 399 |
<a href="http://knb.ecoinformatics.org/software/download.html">KNB Software Download Page</a>. |
|
| 400 |
In the Metacat section, for Linux based systems, select the link that looks like:</p> |
|
| 401 |
<div class="code">metacat-bin-X.X.X.tar.gz</div> |
|
| 402 |
<p>for Windows systems, select the link that looks like:</p> |
|
| 403 |
<div class="code">metacat-bin-X.X.X.zip</div> |
|
| 404 |
<p>where X.X.X is the latest version of Metacat. Choose to save the file locally.</p> |
|
| 405 |
<p>Extract the Metacat package files on Linux systems by typing: |
|
| 406 |
<div class="code">tar -xvzf metacat-bin-X.X.X.tar.gz</div> |
|
| 407 |
<p>or, on Windows, use your system unzip utility to extract the zip file.</p> |
|
| 408 |
<p>You should see a war file and several supporting files. The location where these files |
|
| 409 |
were extracted will be refered to as the the <metacat_package_dir> for the remainder |

<p>Tomcat will look for it's application files (war files) in a configured directory. |
|
| 423 |
This is typically the <tomcat_home>/webapps directory, but your instance of Tomcat may |
|
| 424 |
be configured to look in a different directory. We will refer to your Tomcat application directory |
|
| 425 |
as <tomcat_app_dir>.</p> |
|

|
|
| 427 |
<a name="CreateMetacatDirs"></a><div class="header2">Create Metacat Directories</div> |
|
| 428 |
<p>Metacat uses a base directory to store such things as store data and metadata, |
|
| 429 |
temporary files and configuration backups. This directory should be outside of the |
|
| 430 |
Tomcat application directory since the application directory gets wiped out during an |
|
| 431 |
upgrade. Create the metacat utility base directory |
|
| 432 |
by typing:</p> |
|
| 433 |
<div class="code">sudo mkdir <metacat_base_dir></div> |
|
| 434 |
<p>(Typically <metacat_base_dir> is '/var/metacat'.) Remeber the directory you |
|
| 435 |
choose, since you will be asked to configure Metacat to point to it after startup.</p> |
|
| 436 |
|
|
| 437 |
<p>Change the ownership of the directory by typing:</p> |
|
| 438 |
<div class="code">sudo chown -R <tomcat_user> /var/metacat</div> |
|
| 439 |
<p>where <tomcat_user> is the user that will start Tomcat. If you are |
|
| 440 |
starting Tomcat as the root user, you do not need to run the chown command.</p> |

<a name="ApacheConfig"></a><div class="header2">Configure Apache</div> |
|

<p>You have the option of running Tomcat stand-alone or with with the Apache web |

|
| 449 |
more robust web server. There are some initial setup steps to get Apache talking |
|

<ul> |
|
| 474 |
<li>knb.war - the Metacat application web archive file.</li> |

<p>Tomcat will look for it's application files (war files) in a configured directory. |
|
| 488 |
This is typically the <tomcat_home>/webapps directory, but your instance of Tomcat may |
|
| 489 |
be configured to look in a different directory. We will refer to your Tomcat application directory |
|
| 490 |
as <tomcat_app_dir>.</p> |
|
| 491 |
|
|
| 492 |
<p>If desired, back up your existing war file with a date:</p> |
|
| 493 |
<div class="code">sudo mv <tomcat_app_dir>/knb.war <tomcat_app_dir>/knb.war.<yyyymmdd></div> |
|
| 494 |
|
|
| 495 |
<p>Copy the war file to the Tomcat applications directory:</p> |
|
| 496 |
<div class="code">sudo cp knb.war <tomcat_app_dir></div> |
|
| 497 |
<p>Remove (or rename) the existing application directory:</p> |
|
| 498 |
<div class="code">sudo rm -rf <tomcat_home>/webapps/knb</div> |
|
| 499 |
<p> or </p> |
|
| 500 |
<div class="code">sudo mv <tomcat_home>/webapps/knb <tomcat_home>/webapps/knb.<yyyymmdd></div> |
|
| 501 |
<p>Restart Tomcat:</p> |
|
| 502 |
<div class="code">sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 restart</div> |
|
| 503 |
<p>Tomcat will expand your war file into a new application directory at startup time.</p> |
|

|
|
| 505 |
<a name="RestartTomcat"></a><div class="header1">Restart Tomcat</div> |
|
| 506 |
<p>Once you have successfully installed Metacat, there is one more step. Tomcat |
|
| 507 |
(and Apache if you have Tomcat integrated with it) must be restarted. To do |
|
| 508 |
this, login as the user that runs your tomcat server (often "tomcat"), |
|
| 509 |
go to <tomcat_home>/bin and type: </p> |
|
| 510 |
|
|
| 511 |
<div class="code">./startup.sh</div> |
|
| 512 |
|
|
| 513 |
<p>In the Tomcat startup messages you should see something in the log file like:</p> |
|
| 514 |
|
|
| 515 |
<div class="code">Metacat: [WARN]: Metacat (1.8.0) initialized. [edu.ucsb.nceas.metacat.MetaCatServlet]</div> |
|
| 516 |
|
|
| 517 |
If you see that message Tomcat has successfully loaded the Metacat servlet. |
|
| 518 |
Next, try to run your new servlet. Go to a web browser and type:</p> |
|
| 519 |
|
|
| 520 |
<div class="code">http://yourserver.yourdomain.com/yourcontext/</div> |
|
| 521 |
|
|
| 522 |
<p>You should substitute your context name for "yourcontext" in the url above. |
|
| 523 |
If everything is working correctly, you should see a query page followed |
|
| 524 |
by an empty result set. Note that if you do not have Tomcat integrated with |
|
| 525 |
Apache you will probably have to type</p> |
|
| 526 |
|
|
| 527 |
<div class="code">http://yourserver.yourdomain.com:8080/yourcontext/</div> |

Installing Metacat requires a server running an SQL92 compliant database |
|
| 254 |
(Oracle 8i or Postgresql recommended) with at least 128MB RAM, and a Pentium III class |
|
| 255 |
processor or higher. The amount of disk space required depends on the |
|
| 256 |
size of your RDBMS tablespace (which should be at least 10 MB, |
|
| 257 |
however Metacat itself requires only about 1 MB of free space after |
|
| 258 |
installation). These instructions assume a Linux environment but may |
|
| 259 |
work on other UNIX type environments, however this has not been tested. |
|

<a name="AdditionalRequiredSoftware"></a><div class="header2">Additional Required Software</div> |

<p> |
|

The server on which you wish to install Metacat must have the following |
|
| 265 |
software installed and running correctly before attempting to install |
|
| 266 |
Metacat. |
|
| 267 |
<ul> |

<p class="emphasis">Note: For a more robust web serving environment, |

Apache web server should |

be installed along with Tomcat and the two should be integrated |

as described on the Apache web site.</p> |

|
| 282 |
<a name="AdditionalSoftwareJava"></a><div class="header2">Java</div> |
|
| 283 |
<p>You'll need a recent Java SDK; J2SE 1.4.2 or later is required. The latest metacat release |
|
| 284 |
has been tested most extensively with <a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/">J2SE 5.0</a> |
|
| 285 |
and this is the recommended version. |
|
| 286 |
Make sure that JAVA_HOME environment variable is properly set and that both |
|
| 287 |
java and javac are on your PATH. |
|
| 288 |
</p> |
|
| 289 |
<a name="AdditionalSoftwareOracle"></a><div class="header2">Oracle 8i</div> |
|
| 290 |
<p>The Oracle RDBMS must be installed and running as a daemon on the system. |
|
| 291 |
In addition the JDBC listener must be enabled. You can enable it by |
|
| 292 |
logging in as your Oracle user and typing the following:</p> |
|
| 293 |
|
|
| 294 |
<div class="code">lsnrctl start</div> |
|
| 295 |
|
|
| 296 |
<p>Your instance should have a table space of at least 5 MB (10 MB or higher |
|
| 297 |
recommended). You should also have a username specific to Metacat |
|
| 298 |
created and enabled. This user must have most normal permissions |
|
| 299 |
including CREATE SESSION, CREATE TABLE, CREATE INDEX, CREATE TRIGGER, |
|
| 300 |
EXECUTE PROCEDURE, EXECUTE TYPE, etc. If an action is unexplainably |
|
| 301 |
rejected by Metacat it is probably because the user permissions are not |
|
| 302 |
correctly set.</p> |
|
| 303 |
|
|
| 304 |
<a name="AdditionalSoftwarePostgreSQL"></a><div class="header2">PostgreSQL</div> |
|
| 305 |
<p>PostgreSQL can be easily installed on most linux distributions and on |
|
| 306 |
Windows (using cygwin) and Mac OS X. Using Fedora Core or RedHat Linux, |
|
| 307 |
you can install the rpms for postgres and then run </p> |
|
| 308 |
|
|
| 309 |
<div class="code">/etc/init.d/postgresql start</div> |
|
| 310 |
|
|
| 311 |
<p>in order to start the database. |
|
| 312 |
On Ubuntu and other Debian-based Linux distributions, you can use the apt-get command |
|
| 313 |
to install postgres: |
|
| 314 |
<div class="code">sudo apt-get install postgresql-8.0</div> and |
|
| 315 |
then run |
|
| 316 |
<div class="code">/etc/init.d/postgresql-8.0 start</div> to start. |
|
| 317 |
|
|
| 318 |
This initializes the data files. You need to do a bit of configuration |
|
| 319 |
to create a database and set up a user account and allow internet access |
|
| 320 |
via jdbc. See the postgres documentation for this, but here is a quick |
|
| 321 |
start: |
|
| 322 |
<ul> |
|
| 323 |
<li>Switch to the "postgres" user account |
|
| 324 |
<div class="code">sudo su - postgres</div></li> |
|
| 325 |
<li>Edit "data/pg_hba.conf", adding the following line to the file:<br> |
|
| 326 |
<div class="code">host metacat metacat 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 password</div> |
|
| 327 |
If your host uses IPv6 addresses, you may need this line instead: |
|
| 328 |
<div class="code">host metacat metacat ::1 ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff password</div></li> |
|
| 329 |
<li>If you are using Postgresql pre-8.0, you must edit the "data/postgres.conf" file and uncomment and edit the line |
|
| 330 |
starting with "tcpip_socket" so that it reads |
|
| 331 |
<div class="code">tcpip_socket = true</div></li> |
|
| 332 |
<li>Create metacat database by typing: |
|
| 333 |
<div class="code">createdb metacat</div></li> |
|
| 334 |
<li>Log in using the postgres account and create a new "metacat" user account by typing: |
|
| 335 |
<div class="code">psql metacat</div> |
|
| 336 |
<ul> |
|
| 337 |
<li>In postgres, run <div class="code">CREATE USER metacat WITH UNENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'apasswordyoulike';</div></li> |
|
| 338 |
<li>This creates a new account called metacat on the database named metacat</li> |
|
| 339 |
<li>Note: there are many ways to do this, so others such as using |
|
| 340 |
ENCRYPTED passwords will work fine.</li> |
|
| 341 |
</ul> |
|
| 342 |
</li> |
|
| 343 |
<li>Exit the postgres account back to root and restart the postgres |
|
| 344 |
database by typing: |
|
| 345 |
<div class="code">/etc/init.d/postgresql restart</div></li> |
|
| 346 |
<li>Test logging into the postgres db using the metacat account with |
|
| 347 |
the following command: |
|
| 348 |
<div class="code">psql -U metacat -W -h localhost metacat</div></li> |

<p> |
|
| 354 |
Ant is a Java based build application similar to Make on UNIX systems. |
|
| 355 |
It takes in installation parameters from a file in the root installation |
|
| 356 |
directory named "build.xml". The Metacat CVS module contains a default |
|
| 357 |
build.xml file that may require some modification upon installation. Ant |
|
| 358 |
should be installed on the system and the "ant" executable shell script |
|
| 359 |
should be available in the users path. The latest metacat release was tested with |
|
| 360 |
Ant 1.6.5. <!-- We note that the current build is |
|
| 361 |
not working with Ant 1.6.x, so you'll need to use an earler version. We have |
|
| 362 |
successfully used Ant 1.5.1, 1.5.2, and some earlier versions. --> |

Install Tomcat into the directory of your choice. The directory in which |
|
| 368 |
you install Tomcat itself will be referred to as the <tomcat_home>. |
|
| 369 |
We recommend that you install Tomcat version 5.5. If you are running |
|
| 370 |
Ubuntu/Debian, you can get Tomcat by typing:</p> |
|
| 371 |
<div class="code">sudo apt-get install tomcat5.5</div> |
|
| 372 |
Otherwise, you can get Tomcat from <a href=" http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/index.html">the Apache Tomcat page</a>. |

<a name="DownloadingMetacat"></a><div class="header1">Download Metacat and Get War File</div> |
|
| 376 |
<p>There are several ways to wind up with a Metacat war file, which is needed for |
|
| 377 |
installation. These are: </p> |
|
| 378 |
<ul> |
|
| 379 |
<li>Download Metacat binary distribution - which will have a pre-built war file.</li> |
|
| 380 |
<li>Download Metacat source distribution - which will then need to be built in order to create a war file.</li> |
|
| 381 |
<li>Download Metacat source from SVN - which will then need to be built in order to create a war file.</li> |
|
| 382 |
</ul> |
|
| 383 |
<p>Since downloading the binary distribution is the easiest and most common install, it |
|
| 384 |
will be discussed here in detail. Links to source download/build instructions are also |
|
| 385 |
included in case you would like to go that route.</p> |

In the Metacat section, for Linux based systems, select the link that looks like:</p> |
|
| 391 |
<div class="code">metacat-bin-X.X.X.tar.gz</div> |
|
| 392 |
<p>for Windows systems, select the link that looks like:</p> |
|
| 393 |
<div class="code">metacat-bin-X.X.X.zip</div> |
|
| 394 |
<p>where X.X.X is the latest version of Metacat. Choose to save the file locally.</p> |
|

<p>Extract the Metacat package files on Linux systems by typing: |
|
| 396 |
<div class="code">tar -xvzf metacat-bin-X.X.X.tar.gz</div> |
|
| 397 |
<p>or, on Windows, use your system unzip utility to extract the zip file.</p> |
|
| 398 |
<p>You should see a war file and several supporting files. The location where these files |

<p>Tomcat will look for it's application files (war files) in a configured directory. |
|
| 413 |
This is typically the <tomcat_home>/webapps directory, but your instance of Tomcat may |
|
| 414 |
be configured to look in a different directory. We will refer to your Tomcat application directory |
|
| 415 |
as <tomcat_app_dir>.</p> |

<a name="CreateMetacatDirs"></a><div class="header2">Create Metacat Directories</div> |
|

<p>Metacat uses a base directory to store such things as store data and metadata, |
|
| 419 |
temporary files and configuration backups. This directory should be outside of the |
|
| 420 |
Tomcat application directory since the application directory gets wiped out during an |
|
| 421 |
upgrade. Create the metacat utility base directory |
|
| 422 |
by typing:</p> |
|
| 423 |
<div class="code">sudo mkdir <metacat_base_dir></div> |
|
| 424 |
<p>(Typically <metacat_base_dir> is '/var/metacat'.) Remeber the directory you |
|
| 425 |
choose, since you will be asked to configure Metacat to point to it after startup.</p> |
|
| 426 |
|
|
| 427 |
<p>Change the ownership of the directory by typing:</p> |
|
| 428 |
<div class="code">sudo chown -R <tomcat_user> /var/metacat</div> |
|
| 429 |
<p>where <tomcat_user> is the user that will start Tomcat. If you are |

|
| 480 |
as <tomcat_app_dir>.</p> |
|
| 481 |
|
|
| 482 |
<p>If desired, back up your existing war file with a date:</p> |
|
| 483 |
<div class="code">sudo mv <tomcat_app_dir>/knb.war <tomcat_app_dir>/knb.war.<yyyymmdd></div> |
|
| 484 |

<p>Copy the war file to the Tomcat applications directory:</p> |
|
| 486 |

<p>Restart Tomcat:</p> |
|

|
| 496 |
<p>Once you have successfully installed Metacat, there is one more step. Tomcat |
|
| 497 |
(and Apache if you have Tomcat integrated with it) must be restarted. To do |
|
| 498 |
this, login as the user that runs your tomcat server (often "tomcat"), |
|
| 499 |
go to <tomcat_home>/bin and type: </p> |

|
| 501 |
<div class="code">./startup.sh</div> |
|
| 502 |
|
|
| 503 |
<p>In the Tomcat startup messages you should see something in the log file like:</p> |
|
| 504 |
|
|
| 505 |
<div class="code">Metacat: [WARN]: Metacat (1.8.0) initialized. [edu.ucsb.nceas.metacat.MetaCatServlet]</div> |
|
| 506 |
|
|
| 507 |
If you see that message Tomcat has successfully loaded the Metacat servlet. |
|
| 508 |
Next, try to run your new servlet. Go to a web browser and type:</p> |
|
| 509 |
|
|
| 510 |
<div class="code">http://yourserver.yourdomain.com/yourcontext/</div> |
|
| 511 |
|
|
| 512 |
<p>You should substitute your context name for "yourcontext" in the url above. |
|
| 513 |
If everything is working correctly, you should see a query page followed |
|
| 514 |
by an empty result set. Note that if you do not have Tomcat integrated with |
|
| 515 |
Apache you will probably have to type</p> |
|
| 516 |
|
