Deploying eXist

Numishare depends upon eXist-db as the XML database, but this could be switched with another XML database which follows the same REST protocols. The eXist WAR file should be placed in Tomcat's webapps folder. Download the latest stable build of eXist-db. It will contain the WAR file.

Note: Be sure to rename the WAR file exist.war before placing into Tomcat's webapps folder

By default, eXist has an “admin” user with administrative privileges, and the password is blank. If you change the eXist server URL, username, or password, you can edit exist-config.xml, located in the Numishare installation folder. The default config is shown below:

<exist-config>
	<username>admin</username>
	<password/>
	<url>http://localhost:8080/exist/rest/db/</url>
</exist-config>

You can use the client.sh to upload directly into Numishare and change usernames and passwords.
