This page describes how you might configure a web application to consume the graphs that are generated by the SSDS. The way this example is done is by using the Eclipse Java EE Edition to create a web application that allows the user to author pages and deploy them to an application server like Tomcat.

Install Servlet Container

The first thing to do is install a servlet container where your web application will be deployed. This is most often Tomcat, but can also be something that utilizes Tomcat internally (like JBoss). For this example, we will download and use JBoss 4.2.2GA.

1. Download JBoss from here http://sourceforge.net/projects/jboss/files/JBoss/JBoss-4.2.2.GA/
2. Unpack the download to where you want to install it, open a command window, and change to the directory where you unpacked the download (where you installed it).
3. Start the JBoss server by running run(.sh for Unix and .bat for Windows). Assuming now errors fly by and you get the 'server started in ...' message at the end, Jboss installed successfully. You can use Cntl-C to stop the server.
4. Now download Eclipse JEE 3.5 from here http://eclipse.org/downloads/ and install it.
5. Startup Eclipse after you install it.
6. Go to the Workbench view so we can configure a server which will connect to your JBoss installation.
7. Click on 'File->New->Other...' and then select 'Server->Server'. Then 'Next>'
8. Then select 'JBoss->JBoss v4.2'. The default server host of 'localhost' and server name of 'JBoss v4.2 on localhost' is fine. Click on 'Next>'.
9. You can use the Default JRE and for the 'Application Server Directory' browse to the location where you unpacked JBoss.
