Tomcat

This topic describes the preferences that you need to set for configuring AppScan® Source to reference an Apache Tomcat application server other than one that is supplied with AppScan® Source.

Apache Tomcat Versions 8 and 9 are included in the installation of AppScan® Source. If the Tomcat 8 and Tomcat 9 preference pages are not configured, AppScan® Source will compile JSP files using the supplied Tomcat JSP compiler that is currently marked as default. If you want to employ an external supported Tomcat compiler, use the Tomcat preference pages to point to your local Tomcat installation.

If you are using an external supported Tomcat compiler, go to the appropriate preference page and set the application server installation directory. Specifying the installation directory allows AppScan® Source to automatically find all application server dependencies when configuring projects.
