Web Application Archive (WAR)
Magnolia CMS is also available as a Web Application Archive (WAR). The WAR file includes the CMS application but no application server or add-ons. You need to deploy it on an existing application server.
WARs are available in these download locations:
| Servlet container | Enterprise Edition | Community Edition |
|---|---|---|
| Tomcat | Magnolia file server | SourceForge.net |
| JBoss | Magnolia file server | SourceForge.net |
| IMB WebSphere | Magnolia file server | no CE available |
| Oracle WebLogic 10 | Magnolia file server | no CE available |
| Oracle WebLogic 9 | Magnolia file server | no CE available |
Deploying
Deploying a WAR file on an application server is a procedure which differs from one server to the next. Some servers require specific steps to deploy Magnolia CMS.
Deploying a public instance
If you make no changes to the webapp before deployment, it will automatically be deployed as an author instance. If you change the name of the webapp tomagnoliaPublic by for example renaming the WAR file to magnoliaPublic.war, it will be automatically deployed as a public instance. The name of the webapp folder determines the configuration that will be used. This is discussed in detail in Using a single WAR file with multiple configurations.
If you are not familiar with these procedures, use a standalone installation that ships with an application server.
