[Hh#98715] Installing Tomcat And Webservices

[HelioHost]

Hi.

I have only just signed up for your services. I have 2 questions please:

1. I have signed up for the MYSQL database on my account, but now wish to

add Apache Tomcat to it. Please could you point me in the direction of how

to add this.

 

2. An area i'm new to is creating and deploying a restful webservice and

then have this query and return JSON data from the database. I'm fine with

the theory, so am planning on building the webservice in Eclipse and then

somehow deploying to the new Tomcat server on yoursite; then i will call

your site from my new mobile app and hopefully it will return the JSON data

from the hosted MYSQL database. Just wanted to check this was achievable

using your service, and there weren't any obvious blockers (aside from my

lack of knowledge)?

(if you do have any supporting documents on any of this then that would be

much appreciated).

Many thanks in advance,

Dave

All of our server support mysql. Only two servers support tomcat: Tommy and Johnny. The wait to receive tomcat access on Tommy is generally a few hours. The wait to receive tomcat access on Johnny is several months. To request java on either server you log in to your cpanel, click the java button, and then click request java. You can read about developing a java .war servlet with eclipse to deploy on heliohost on our wiki http://wiki.helionet.org/Java_Servlet Let us know if you have any other questions.
