Deployment

Config directory

The webapp has a set of properties files external to the war, the Maven config file populates this for jetty instance but if you run on Tomcat then specify this config.dir eg;

startTomcat -Dconfig.dir=/path/to/dir

Configuration files

This directory must contain each of the files in the environments\example directory - this allows configuration of database connections, log4j, etc

Development

To get going with development (I am assuming you are using eclipse):

1. git clone https://github.com/rob-murray/ipac.git
2. cd to dir
3. mvn eclipse:eclipse -Dwtpversion=2.0

To run with Jetty; mvn jetty:run
