Renaming Toolkit

Bill Majurski edited this page Nov 17, 2016 · 1 revision

For most of its life Toolkit has been delivered as xdstools2.war and was expected to be installed using that name. The resulting servlet context name was xdstools2 and the typical URL for launching was http://hostname:port/xdstools2.

One of the reasons this name was important was that the base URL of toolkit was built into the endpoints of simulators. The hostname and port were extracted from toolkit.properties and the context name was assumed to be xdstools2. This has been updated.

The hostname and port are still configured in toolkit.properties since they cannot be automatically extracted from the runtime environment. The context name is detected at runtime. More specifically, at startup, the context name is detected and the hostname and port from toolkit.properties are collected. Existing simulator configurations are scanned and their endpoints are updated. So if you are using simulators in your work, and the Conformance Test Tool automatically uses them, if you reconfigure Tomcat the simulators will be automatically reconfigured.
