Requirements

• Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE) 1.4 or higher
• Servlet 2.4 and JSP 2.0 compliant container.

Setup

1. First you need to configure a JDBC data source for the Gomba servlets. This setup is container specific. If you are using Tomcat as your servlet container, you can use the provided configuration file in the conf directory. Otherwise refer to your container documentation.
2. Drop the WAR file found in the binary distribution in your servlet container web application directory.
3. Once the container has unpacked the gomba WAR, you can start tweaking the web.xml and adding servlets.

Compiling sources

To compile sources you have to install and configure the following tools:

• Apache Ant. Set the ANT_HOME environment variable to Ant installation directory. Add $ANT_HOME/bin to your PATH environment variable.
• Apache Forrest (Only needed if you want to generate the documentation). Set the FORREST_HOME environment variable to point at your Forrest installation directory.

Type this command from sources directory:

ant dist

the distribution packages will be created inside the dist directory.
