Tomcat Properties

The Tomcat property settings should be checked carefully, especially after updating to a new version of Dialog Designer. If you are having trouble updating applications when you update Dialog Designer, check these settings.

The Tomcat properties pane is created by a third-party plug-in. This pane is integrated with Dialog Designer. When you create a project, Dialog Designer automatically and properly configures the project's Tomcat properties. Dialog Designer does not, however, continue to check or update these properties as you continue to work on and develop the project.

This section is provided primarily as reference, against the eventuality that these settings somehow get changed or corrupted and the project stops running correctly in the simulator.

CAUTION:

To prevent "breaking" your project and causing it to no longer run correctly in the simulator, Avaya recommends that you do not change any of the settings in this pane, unless they have inadvertently been changed by some other means. If you find it necessary to change them, you should change them only to match the settings in this section.

The Tomcat properties pane is where project properties are available for how Tomcat is set to work with Dialog Designer projects. There is one tab, the General tab, used to:

Tomcat Properties-General Tab Options
Option	Description
