Installing the Java Web Application in Tomcat

  1. On your mac based FMS, go to Finder.
  2. Go To Folder : /Library/FileMaker Server/Web Publishing/publishing-engine/jwpc-tomcat
  3. Paste in the "link.war" file into this directory.
  4. Wait a few seconds, and a new folder named : "link" will appear in this directory.
  5. Now open a internet browser, navigate to : http://localhost:16021/link/service/message/ping
  6. You should see a similar result (Photo Below)

Now that the service is available locally, we need to ensure the service can be reached from the WAN.

  1. Go to Folder : /Library/FileMaker Server/HTTPServer/conf/
  2. Open file : httpd.conf (We just use TextEdit.app on Mac)
  3. Then scroll to the bottom of the document. On the last line add the following item:
ProxyPass /link http://127.0.0.1:16021/link retry=5 timeout=2000
  1. Now, reboot your mac for the web services to update.
  2. Once the mac is online from another computer that is outside your LAN test the following url:
https://{YOUR DOMAIN NAME}/link/service/message/ping

You should see a result similar to the photo shown above at step 6.
