==Step 8. Enable the DSpace Java webapps on the Java Tomcat webapp server==
 
The DSpace webapps have been compiled in the '''/home/dspace/webapps''' folder but Tomcat only serves up webapps in the '''/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps''' folder.
 
 
So, how do we get all the files into the Tomcat webapps folder ?
 
 
There are several methods, but we are going to set it up so that if you change anything in the DSpace '''/home/dspace/webapps''' folder and then re-compile, the changes automatically occur in the Tomcat '''/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps''' folder. This also saves you from constantly copying webapps after a compile, which is a tricky business.
 
 
We create shortcuts ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symlink symlinks in the Unix world]) in the default Tomcat webapps folder, to the DSpace webapps in the '''/home/dspace/webapps''' folder by typing as follows:
 
 
sudo cd /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps
 
 
sudo ln -s /home/dspace/webapps/oai
 
 
sudo ln -s /home/dspace/webapps/sword
 
 
sudo ln -s /home/dspace/webapps/solr
 
 
The following is optional, but nice to have.
 
sudo ln -s /usr/share/tomcat6-admin/manager
 
 
===Step 8.1 Configure the default ROOT webapp===
 
DSpace has two web interfaces, the XMLUI and the JSPUI.
 
 
This procedure allows you to select which interface will be used as the ROOT webapp.
 
 
In other words, the one that does not need a '''/xmlui''' or a '''/jspui''' URL addition.
 
 
Start by removing the default Tomcat ROOT webapp with the following command:
 
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/ROOT
 
Then apply one of the following.
 
*'''<font color="red"><u>Please Note: You can only choose one UI as the default ROOT Tomcat webapp!. The other can be referenced as "/" something if needed.</u></font>'''
 
====Option A: [[SUNScholar/Theme|XMLUI]]====
 
''Complex setup but very customisable using modern web UI technologies and has a low server load.''
 
 
Type the following to make the XMLUI the default interface.
 
 
sudo cd /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps
 
 
sudo ln -s /home/dspace/webapps/xmlui ROOT
 
 
====Option B: [[SUNScholar/Theme|JSPUI]]====
 
''Easy to setup but hard to customise and has a high server load.''
 
 
Type the following to make the JSPUI the default interface.
 
 
sudo cd /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps
 
 
sudo ln -s /home/dspace/webapps/jspui ROOT
 
 
====Example listing of DSpace Java webapps in the Tomcat webapp folder====
 
To get a listing of active Tomcat webapps type the following:
 
sudo cd /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps
 
 
sudo ls -l
 
 
See example listing below.
 
<pre>
 
dspace@ir1:/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps$ ls -l
 
total 0
 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root    root        24 2012-09-05 11:28 oai -> /home/dspace/webapps/oai
 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root    root        26 2012-09-05 11:29 ROOT -> /home/dspace/webapps/xmlui
 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root    root        25 2012-09-05 11:28 solr -> /home/dspace/webapps/solr
 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root    root        26 2012-09-05 11:29 sword -> /home/dspace/webapps/sword
 
</pre>
 
 
===Step 8.2 Restart Tomcat Server===
 
Type the following.
 
sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat6 restart
